Hurricanes are gigantic, swirling, tropical storms that are created with a wind speed over 160 miles (257 kilometers) per hour. It gives off more than 2.4 trillion gallons (9 trillion liters) of rain each day. Hurricane forms in the Southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Golf of Mexico, and in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. According to www.weatherwizkids.com , a hurricane usually lasts for a week. Hurricane mostly occurs at mid-August to late October and occurs about five to six times a year. A hurricane begins at a tropical disturbance in warm ocean water with a temperature of at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.5 degrees Celsius).

According to www.weatherwizkids.com , a hurricane usually lasts for a week. Hurricane mostly occurs at mid-August to late October and occurs about five to six times a year. A hurricane begins at a tropical disturbance in warm ocean water with a temperature of at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.5 degrees Celsius). The center of a hurricane is call the “Eye of the Hurricane” and is about 20-30 miles wide (32-48 kilometer wide). The eye is the calmest part of a hurricane and surrounding the eye is something call the “Eye Wall”. When a hurricane makes a landfall, it often produces a strong storm surge that can reach 20 feet (6 meters) long and spread 100 miles (161 kilometers).Hurricanes cause catastrophic damage to coastlines and several hundred miles in land. Hurricanes can produce winds exceptional to 155 miles per hour as well as tornadoes and microbursts. Hurricanes can also create a storm surge along the coast and cause an extensive damage from heavy rainfall. Hurricanes can travel 10-20 miles per hour over the surface of the ocean. Hurricanes gather heat and energy though with contact with warm water and evaporation from seawater gives them
