  • Carla Zeus for CNN. 2

  • 10 were happy to see you this Thursday. 3

  • Two days away from the long Labor Day weekend, parts of the U. 4

  • S Southeast could be weathering a hurricane over that weekend. 5

  • Yesterday, a storm named Dorian was spinning over the Atlantic, headed toward the U. 6

  • S Virgin Islands and eastern Puerto Rico. 7

  • The silver lining is this system is not as strong as Hurricane Maria. 8

  • That was a Category four storm that smashed into Puerto Rico in 2017. 9

  • The bad news is Dorian could cause further damage on an island that's still recovering from Maria. 10

  • They're still tarps on some of the roofs that Maria damaged. 11

  • They're still weak spots in the electrical system that Maria knocked out. 12

  • So Puerto Rico has declared a state of emergency, opening hundreds of shelters to residents and prepping 70 hospitals in case of injuries from Dorian. 13

  • Forecasters have had their hands full trying to figure out where this storm's gonna go. 14

  • Just two days ago, they projected that it would roll south of Puerto Rico and barrel over the Dominican Republic. 15

  • Last night, Dorian looked like it would miss that country altogether because it had turned northward, though heavy rain and tropical storm force winds were still possible. 16

  • What happens after this is anyone's guess. 17

  • Dorian was a Category one hurricane is of last night and meteorologist think it'll strengthen further after it passes by the islands and gets back out over the Atlantic. 18

  • Dorian already caused flooding in Martinique when it was a tropical storm. 19

  • If it becomes a Category three hurricane, which some scientists expect, Dorian could have wind speeds of up to 115 miles per hour and be capable of serious damage. 20

  • The National Hurricane Center says it could then approach Florida or other parts of the American southeast over the weekend. 21

  • The forecasters still don't know if, where or when that will happen. 22

  • One thing they do know is what to name storms. 23

  • You lived in Homestead, Florida in 1992. 24

  • Andrew is a name you will never forget, just like in 2005 if you lived in New Orleans area Katrina. 25

  • The military started naming storms after their wives, their girlfriends, but none of these names were made public. 26

  • So 1950 everything changed. 27

  • Several storms formed out in the Atlantic about the same time it created a lot of confusion. 28

  • So the U. 29

  • S Weather Bureau said, OK, let's start naming storms and they actually started by using the World War Two Alphabet Able Baker, Charlie Dog Easy. 30

  • But this created confusion as well, because every year the storm names were the same wasn't until 1979 that we started alternating male and female names. 31

  • We recycle that list every six years. 32

  • In the Atlantic basin, we use English, Spanish and French names. 33

  • No storms are named after a particular person. 34

  • In fact, you can't request a storm to be named after you. 35

  • That entire process is handled by the World Meteorological Organization. 36

  • A storm name will be retired if it is too costly or deadly, and it would be inappropriate to use it in future years. 37

  • In fact, since 1950 there have been nearly 80 storm names retired. 38

  • And what happens if we go through all of the storm names? 39

  • Well, it happened in 2005. 40

  • We ended up going to the Greek outfit, but so that's what's in a name. 41

  • It took a long time to get here. 42

  • But just like each individual name, E Storm tends to have its own personality which of these places is known as the land of Fire and ice Monica, Iceland, Indonesia or the Peruvian Andes. 43

  • Because its features include both volcanoes and inland glaciers, Iceland is called the land of fire and ice. 44

  • It's also one of the most popular countries in the world for adventure tourism or adventure travel, a type of trip that might include physical activity, interaction with other cultures and spending time in nature. 45

  • As an industry, it's growing, but it's not for everyone. 46

  • Adventure tourists often get outside their comfort zone. 47

  • For some, that's the goal. 48

  • They may be taking part of dangerous hikes or activities, and they may be traveling through hostile areas. 49

  • But adventure tourism can't allow people to see firsthand something exotic that they wouldn't see back home. 50

  • Ah, 105 mile trail through Egypt is one example. 51

  • Daybreak over the Red Sea Mountains. 52

  • Guys, this is one of my favorite mountains. 53

  • It's called Jabal Guitar. 54

  • Kind of looks like flames rising up out of a fire until recently. 55

  • Off the tourism path. 56

  • These peaks are a familiar sight for British explorer Ben, who five years ago set out to create the first long distance trail in mainland Egypt, the Red Sea Mountains have always been a really key area for Egypt. 57

  • Many civilizations came here, and they made ways through these mountains, from the pharaohs to the Ptolemy's to the Romans. 58

  • What we did with the Red Sea Mountain Trail was identified all of these old roots and put these together in a way that creates a hiking route for modern times. 59

  • The trail is one of two routes been set up in the country, joining him on this trip with fellow hikers who back in 2015 worked with him to develop its seven a trail in the Sinai Peninsula. 60

  • Developing trails for tourism is something that is now a trend on gets growing very, very fast. 61

  • But having people that have lived in this land, or maybe hundreds of years, adds another completely different aspect to this experience. 62

  • Joining up on ancient network of trade travel, hunting rooms, 170 kilometer long path crosses the land of the Mars. 63

  • As one of Egypt's largest tribes, they were instrumental in the development of the trail, the channels that 100% owned by the Bedouin community. 64

  • But in the process of creation, we walked together for thousands of kilometers. 65

  • If the pyramids are a monument to the Egyptians, a path a trail would be the best monument to the Bedouin as a travelling people. 66

  • For me, there's no better way to show who the Bedouin are. 67

  • Then tow. 68

  • Walk apart with them. 69

  • This is for allergy of the chest. 70

  • Everything here really serves a purpose. 71

  • When fully operational trail will take 10 days to complete on. 72

  • By offering authentic cultural immersion with the Maza, it will open up one of the least known areas on dhe cultures of Egypt to a new type of adventure tourism. 73

  • The beauty of it is that when you create a trail, this creates a micro economy around the benefits. 74

  • The local people of that particular region part for me shows where they've come from. 75

  • It shows you who they are, how they've lived. 76

  • Um, perhaps this part that can be part of the story of weather going in the future, too. 77

  • Okay, what's fascinating about today's 10 out of 10 segment isn't so much what you're seeing, but where you're seeing it. 78

  • These are innumerable pieces of promise. 79

  • Rock is recorded from a boat. 80

  • What's being called a raft of floating promise is the size of the New York City borough of Manhattan, and scientists believe it could be linked to the recent eruption of an underwater volcano in the South Pacific. 81

  • Australian sailors say the rocks range from being the size of marbles to the size of basketballs. 82

  • If the raft reaches Australia's Great Barrier Reef in the months ahead, it could bring new species there. 83

  • It's the kind of scene to stun a sailing. 84

  • Stony sees a promise, like a pebble DACA floating rock that stretches out before its waves of stone floating on sea foam. 85

  • All because the glass is porous. 86

  • It's volcanic.
