It’s forming in the Atlantic …
Notes:
- Hurricanes – they have only one positive – that is you have time to prepare and if needed, get out of the way.
- But hurricanes come with multiple negatives – they are the world’s most dangerous storms – they come ashore as a large storm that can wreck havoc along the coastline and inland – they spawn tornadoes when it hits dry land – and they dump a lot of rain that floods a large geographical area:
INFO: hurricanes 101 - Hurricanes are dangerous storms that can destroy communities and take many lives:
INFO: why are hurricanes so dangeroug - But unlike tornadoes and earthquakes that are sudden, hurricanes, with the use of the technological measurements and forecasts, give you time to make preparations that can save property and loved ones.

How do hurricanes form?
Notes:
- What is the difference between a hurricane and typhoon? Nothing! They are both the same weather phenomenon.
- The only difference is where they form and are located – if in the Atlantic Ocean, they are called hurricanes – if in the Pacific, they are called typhoons. And if you are traveling in the Indian Ocean, they are referred to as cyclones.
- In either location, they function like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel:
INFO: how do hurricanes form - Once they form, it becomes a race for forecasters and monitors to track the storm in order to give ample warning on its potential land hit:

And now the cleanup
Notes:
- The visual effect of a devasting hurricane is without words. Any hurricane of category size can cause havac. Even those that are downgraded to tropical storms can hit areas with drenches of rain – as witness when hurricane Sandy hit the Jersey shore.
- With that said, take hurricanes seriously. And in the event of hurricane tracking towards your area, make the necessary preparations to protect home, property and lives.
- Estimated costs and pics:
SOURCE NOAA.GOV: Katrina (2005: $108 billion) | Sandy (2012: $71.4 billion) | Ike (2008: $29.5 billion) | Andrew (1992) $26.5 billion) | Wilma (2005: $20.6 billion) - What comments can you share?
