Never in the history of mankind has there been so much information about Main Page as there is today thanks to the internet. However, this access to everything related to Main Page is not always easy. Saturation, poor usability, and the difficulty to discern between correct and incorrect information about Main Page are often difficult to overcome. That's what motivated us to create a reliable, safe and effective site.
It was clear to us that in order to achieve our goal, it was not enough to have correct and verified information about Main Page. Everything we had collected about Main Page also had to be presented in a clear, readable way, in a structure that facilitated the user experience, with a clean and efficient design, and that prioritised loading speed. We are confident that we have achieved this, although we are always working to make small improvements. If you have found what you have found useful about Main Page and you have felt comfortable, we will be very happy if you come back to wikious.com whenever you want and need to.
Hurricane Erika was a weak hurricane that struck northeastern Mexico in August of the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season. Erika was the eighth tropical cyclone, fifth tropical storm, and third hurricane of the season. At first, the National Hurricane Center did not designate it as a hurricane because initial data suggested winds of only 70 mph (110 km/h) at Erika's peak intensity, but it was retroactively deemed a hurricane based on further data. Developing in the eastern Gulf of Mexico on August 14, Erika moved quickly westward and strengthened under favorable conditions. It made landfall as a hurricane on northeastern Mexico on August 16. The storm's low-level circulation center dissipated by the next day. However, the storm's mid-level circulation persisted for another three days, emerging into the Pacific and moving northwestward over Baja California, before dissipating on August 20. Two people were killed in northeastern Mexico when their vehicle was swept away by floodwaters. (Full article...)

Columbidae is a bird family consisting of doves and pigeons. In English, the smaller species tend to be called doves and the larger ones pigeons, but this distinction is not always consistent and scientifically there is no separation between them. Pigeons and doves are distributed everywhere on Earth, except for the driest areas of the Sahara, Antarctica and its surrounding islands, and the high Arctic. The family has adapted to most of the habitats available on the planet. There is a considerable variation in size between species, ranging in length from 15 to 75 cm (6 to 30 in), and in weight from 30 g (1 oz) to above 2 kg (4 lb). Overall, the anatomy of Columbidae is characterized by short legs, short bills with a fleshy beak, and small heads on large, compact bodies. The wings are large, and have eleven primary feathers; they have strong wing muscles and are among the strongest fliers of all birds. They primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and plants. This red-eyed dove (Streptopelia semitorquata) was photographed on the Zambezi in Zimbabwe, near Kazungula Bridge. Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
