• Reader servers in multi-homed networks no longer need to receive all of their articles pre-numbered from a Master Number Generator Cyclone server. They can receive articles from a local Cyclone. The local Cyclone can accept articles from local peers and request article numbering and control information from Hurricane. Articles unknown to Hurricane can be forwarded to the system for distribution to other subscribed servers that want, but do not have the articles. By using Hurricane, the Reader servers can ensure that the newly received articles are numbered exactly the same way as articles received on the other side of the network. ... Every POP can obtain articles locally and reduce the in-network bandwidth to and from the centralized Master Number Generator Cyclone server.
• By separating the action of numbering from the action of receiving articles, every news router can contact Hurricane for article numbers. ... Since Hurricane itself is a multi-homed, fault-tolerant system, the Single Point of Failure is removed.

• CYCLONE AS POWERFUL AS HURRICANE ANDREW DEVASTATES ISLAND IN INDIAN OCEAN.
• Just when things were finally quieting down in the Indian Ocean, another powerful Tropical Cyclone developed. Tropical Cyclone Hudah, with winds of 140 mph and gusts up to 180 mph, beared down on the large island of Madagascar off the coast of Southeastern Africa. Being compared to Hurricane Andrew, the Category Four Hurricane that devastated much of South Florida back in August, 1992, Tropical Cyclone Hudah showed very impressive structure and organization as it barreled westward.
