Etymology
One of the multiple possibilities of the origin of the name is the option that it stems from hechizos, a
Castilian word meaning "enchantment". Another possibility is the option that the word originated from chisos, a Native American word meaning "ghost" or "spirit".[1]
Birds of the Chisos Mountains include 81 total known
species that live within six different plant
associations.[2] The six plant associations along with the number of known species within them include: the Arroyo-Mesquite-Acacia Association (31 species), the Lechuguilla-Creosotebush-Cactus Association (13 species), the Sotol-Grass Association (32 species), the Deciduous Woodland Association (42 species), the Pinyon-Juniper-Oak Association (32 Species), and the Cypress-Pine-Oak Association (24 species).[2]
Ants of the Chisos Mountains include 81 total known species within 29 different
genera.[3]

Formation
A post-tropical cyclone is formed when the typical characteristics of a
tropical cyclone are replaced with those of
extratropical cyclones, otherwise known as
extratropical transition.[4] After the initial formation, post-tropical cyclone has the potential to gain strength and intensity by forming an extratropical storm.[4] If a post-tropical cyclone does become an extratropical storm it will eventually decay through the process of occlusion.[5]
Impacts
The re-intensification of a post-tropical cyclone can cause dangerous conditions in North Atlantic shipping routes with high seas and winds comparable to those of
hurricanes.[4]

Catastroffiti
Catastroffiti, a form of
graffiti related to natural disasters, starts to appear as affected residents gut their houses, placing damaged materials on the
berms.[6] At first, this graffiti was placed on trashed appliances to prevent theft and resale, but soon expanded in medium and purpose.[6] The graffiti done mostly in spray paint (also mud) started to not only be a precaution, but a dialogue of emotions related to the effects of the flood.[6] Post-flood emotions driving this largely consisted of frustration with the
National Weather Service after it predicted a flood crest about five feet less than the actual.[6][7] As this developed, catastroffiti was appearing on not just household appliances, but also houses, garages, and signs.[6] In the aftermath of the 1997 Red River Flood, catastroffiti became a method of commentary and coping in the affected areas.[6]
