Cyclone Pam, Hurricane Katrina, And Typhoon Usagi: What Makes Them Different?

Hurricanes are formed over tropical waters. These intense storms consist of winds over 74 miles per hour (Ahrens & Sampson, 2011). The storms addressed here are Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy. This paper will explore the contrasts and comparisons between these two horrific storms.

Anyone can know a part of a story, and have an opinion on the whole story. No one knows it all, and no one ever will. Some people will try to search, but most will be satisfied, content, with their findings. We would think that as people, our curious mind would want more, just like we do with many things. More is always more. Not with news and information. In America, Television news networks, newspapers, and other news outlets constantly release information with all kinds of biases and people listen blindly. The public needs to be aware of the different ways media can tweak and omit information so that viewers and readers can receive the full, most accurate, and non-partial information out there.

The wind speeds of a tornado and a hurricane are uncommonly different. Such as, the wind speeds of a tornado can be anywhere between 40mph to +318mph! On the contrary, the wind speeds of a hurricane can be anywhere between 74mph to +155mph! The hurricane`s scale is category one through category five. Category one is 74mph to 95mph, category two is 96mph to 110mph, category three is 111mph to 130mph, category four is 131mph to 155mph, and category five is >155mph. Wow! that’s fast!

Both storms generate other weather factors such as rain, heavy winds, and flooding. Hurricanes and tornadoes require an appropriate amount of preparation before the storm actually hits.

Tornadoes and hurricanes are very destructive. Tornadoes are spinning columns of air that form from the the sky to the ground. Hurricanes are the most powerful storms on Earth. Hurricanes are tropical storms that travel across the Atlantic Ocean. Hurricanes happen when winds exceed to 75 miles per hour. Tornadoes have winds that can get to the speed of up to 200-300 miles per hour. There is a level 5 hurricane which means that the winds exceed up to 150 miles per hour.
