Preparations and Impact
Hurricane Cleo caused minimal impact on land, limited to 2 inches (51 mm) of rainfall in St. John's, Newfoundland. A persistent trough enabled the recurvature of three tropical cyclones: Becky, Cleo, and Daisy remained over the ocean. The cyclone remained away from land masses, which reduced potential damages. On August 14, the Weather Bureau office in San Juan, Puerto Rico issued a hurricane watch for the Lesser Antilles, and caution was advised for watercraft in the cyclone's path. Later, reconnaissance data indicated the cyclone continued to move northward, reducing the threat. The precautionary watch was discontinued on August 15. The Radio Station NSS Washington informed ships about the cyclone's location in the Atlantic Ocean. Although the hurricane transversed several shipping routes, no deaths or severe damages were reported over the ocean. The extratropical remnants of Cleo eventually affected Europe, but damages are unknown.

Famous quotes containing the words preparations and/or impact:
“The most evident difference between man and animals is this: the beast, in as much as it is largely motivated by the senses and with little perception of the past or future, lives only for the present. But man, because he is endowed with reason by which he is able to perceive relationships, sees the causes of things, understands the reciprocal nature of cause and effect, makes analogies, easily surveys the whole course of his life, and makes the necessary preparations for its conduct.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
