Have you ever been to a hurricane? Hurricanes are serious
weather storms. They can do a lot of damage. But what is a hurricane?
Another name for a hurricane is a tropical cyclone. A hurricane
consists of thunderstorms, torrential rains, and waves with winds up to
75 mph or higher. A hurricane is a tropical storm that starts out in the
ocean and gathers speed and strength as it travels.
When the winds inside these storms reach 39 mph, they are given
names. An international committee developed the list of names.
Hurricanes alternate back and forth between male and female names.
Giving the hurricanes names makes it easier for meteorologists to
identify and track certain storms. This makes it easier to announce
hurricane warnings, as well.
The best place to be during a hurricane is indoors and away from
windows and doors. If the hurricane is very bad, you will probably be
asked to evacuate and move to safer ground. It is important to keep a
bag ready that contains fresh water, long-lasting food, first aid kit,
flashlight, rain gear, and other items that would be useful if you had to
leave your home for a few days.
