El Niño Arrives; Expected to Persist through Winter 2009-10
NOAA scientists today announced the arrival of El Niño, a climate phenomenon with a significant influence on global weather, ocean conditions and marine fisheries. El Niño, the periodic warming of central and eastern tropical Pacific waters, occurs on average every two to five years and typically lasts about 12 months.
El Niño's impacts depend on a variety of factors, such as intensity and extent of ocean warming, and the time of year. Contrary to popular belief, not all effects are negative. On the positive side, El Niño can help to suppress Atlantic hurricane activity. In the United States, it typically brings beneficial winter precipitation to the arid Southwest, less wintry weather across the North, and a reduced risk of Florida wildfires.
El Niño’s negative impacts have included damaging winter storms in California and increased storminess across the southern United States. Some past El Niños have also produced severe flooding and mudslides in Central and South America, and drought in Indonesia.

EcoStar Roofing Tiles Offer 110-mph Wind Warranty
Carlisle, Pa. - EcoStar, a leading manufacturer of recycled, synthetic slate and shake roofing tiles, offers a 110-mph wind warranty on its eco-friendly Majestic Slate and Seneca Cedar Shake Tiles. For residents of states that are regularly hit with damaging storms, high winds and hurricanes, EcoStar offers superior protection from a roofing tile with 20 years of proven performance.
"We continually test our roofing tiles to make sure they can withstand the harshest elements," explained Michael McAuley, general manager of EcoStar. "Making a 110-mph wind warranty available is just one more way we can stand behind our product’s performance."
The first line of defense against severe weather is the roof, and homeowners in wind-prone areas should understand the importance of choosing a roofing tile that will protect and defend their home from the harshest weather conditions. EcoStar tiles have undergone meticulous testing to determine their wind-resistance level and have received Miami-Dade County approval for their ability to withstand high winds.
EcoStar Majestic Slate and Seneca Cedar Shake Tiles not only provide enhanced strength and impact resistance but are also environmentally friendly, offering a lightweight yet durable alternative to traditional slate and shake roofing materials. Made from 80% post-industrial recycled rubber and plastic, the roofing tiles utilize millions of pounds of waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. Because they are manufactured with minimal filler content, EcoStar tiles also feature long-term performance and enhanced durability backed by an available 50-year transferable labor and material warranty as well as the 110-mph wind warranty.
