3. A hurricane is a large rotating storm with high speed winds
that forms over warm waters in tropical areas. Hurricanes
have sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour and an
area of low air pressure in the center called the eye
4. . In In North America and the Caribbean they
are called "hurricanes”
In the Indian Ocean they are called
"cyclones",
And in Southeast Asia they are called
"typhoons
7. When hurricanes
strike land they can
cause huge
amounts of
damage. Most of
the damage is
caused by flooding
and storm surge.
Storm surge is
when the ocean
level rises at the
coastline due to the
power of the storm.
Hurricanes also
cause damage with
high speed winds
that can blow
down trees and
damage homes.
Many hurricanes
can develop several
9. Hurricanes are classified into five categories based on current
maximum wind speed. This rating scale is called the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Scale, But the scale has been criticized for not accounting for
rainfall totals, which can cause significant damage.
11. Summing up all the details about the hurricane, we can say
that hurricanes are those disasters that are actually the storms
that are very much dangerous and of various types as well.
Hurricanes have a schedule when they came and they came
where the temperature became suitable for them. It creates
too much loss in that place where it came. Although in the
countries or regions, where it came there were already
measurements set by the government of those areas for the
hurricanes.
