Produktinformationen "1928 Okeechobee Hurricane"

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.The Okeechobee hurricane, or Hurricane San Felipe Segundo, was a deadly hurricane that struck the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and Florida in September of the 1928 Atlantic hurricane season. It was the second recorded hurricane to reach Category 5 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale in the Atlantic basin after the 1924 Cuba hurricane; as of 2008, it remained the only recorded hurricane to strike Puerto Rico at Category 5 strength, and one of the ten most intense ever recorded to make landfall in the United States. The hurricane caused devastation throughout its path. As many as 1,200 people were killed in Guadeloupe. The storm directly struck Puerto Rico at peak strength, killing at least 300 and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. In south Florida at least 2,500 were killed when a storm surge from Lake Okeechobee breached the dike surrounding the lake, flooding an area covering hundreds of square miles. In total, the hurricane killed at least 4,078 people and caused around $100 million ($1 billion 2008 US dollars) in damages over the course of its path.

EU Gewährleistungssiegel

Die EU führt ein verpflichtendes, einheitliches EU-Label zur Information über die gesetzliche Gewährleistung ein, ergänzt durch ein Garantielabel, sofern eine freiwillige Herstellergarantie besteht.

Ziel der neuen Regelung ist es, Verbraucherrechte transparenter darzustellen und europaweit einheitliche Informationsstandards zu schaffen. Verbraucher sollen auf einen Blick erkennen können, welche gesetzlichen Mindeststandards gelten, unabhängig davon, in welchem Land oder bei welchem Händler sie einkaufen.

EU Warranty Label

The European Union is introducing a mandatory, standardized EU label to provide information about consumers’ statutory warranty rights. This will be complemented by a guarantee label where a voluntary manufacturer’s guarantee is offered.

The purpose of this new regulation is to make consumer rights more transparent and to establish consistent information standards across the European Union. Consumers should be able to see at a glance which statutory minimum protections apply, regardless of the country or retailer from which they make a purchase.
