In Germany, the depression had reached its worst in 1932, with 6 million unemployed, spread throughout every city.

When the depression reached Sulu, it was downgraded to a low pressure system.

One computer model predicted the depression would reach winds of around 115 miles per hour (185 km/h) by four days after development.

This was prematurely however, as the depression did not reach tropical storm status until August 29.

A depression that formed October 5 reached storm strength the same day.

Several hours later, the depression reached tropical storm intensity.

Intensification was slow as the depression did not reach storm status until September 20.

Residents had to cross a swampy depression, where the student center now stands, to reach central campus.

While limited in extent, these depressions can reach impressive depths.

The depression finally reached tropical storm strength and was named Joanne.
