Hurricanes2
Hurricane, what does it mean? What do hurricanes do? What kind of powers do they possess? Where regions of the world are mostly affected by these hurricanes? All these questions I plan to answer in the following paragraphs. One thing we do know for sure is that a hurricane is one of the most devastating storms that Mother Nature has to offer. We also know that hurricanes cause a lot of damage to homes, businesses, and peoples lives. The term "hurricane" is a regionally specific name for a strong "tropical cyclone." A hurricane is a powerful, whirling storm that measures 200 to 300 miles in diameter. The winds near the center of a hurricane blow at speeds of 74 miles per hour or more, and the center of the hurricane is supposed to be the calmest part of a hurricane so you can imagine what the speeds are like towards the outer parts of a hurricane. A hurricane is an area of low air pressure that forms over oceans in tropical regions in either the North Atlantic Ocean or Eastern North Pacific Ocean. Hurricanes develop from easterly waves. These long, narrow regions of low pressure occur in ocean winds are called trade winds. Easterly waves may grow into a tropical depression, with winds of up to 31 miles per hour
All the above paragraphs show why the hurricane is one of the most dangerous, deadly and feared storms to ever happen. Here is how they rate the damage of the hurricane. 1:Minimal Damage: primarily to trees and shrubbery, foliage and unanchored homes. No real damage to other structures. Some damage to poorly constructed signs. Low lying coastal roads inundated, minor pier damage. Example: Hurricane Jerry (1989). 2: Moderate Damage: considerable damage to shrubbery and tree foliage; some trees blown down. Major damage to roofing materials of buildings; some window and door damage. No major damage to buildings. Example: Hurricane Bob (1991). 3: Extensive Damage; foliage torn from trees. Large trees blown down. Practically all poorly constructed signs blown down. Some damage to roofing materials of buildings, some window and door damage. Some structural damage to small buildings. Mobile homes destroyed. Serious flooding at coast and many smaller structures near the coast are destroyed. Battering waves and floating debris damages larger structures on the coast. Example: Hurricane Gloria (1985). 4: Extreme Damage: Shrubs and trees blown down, all signs are blown down. Extensive damage is done to roofing materials, windows and doors. Complete destruction to mobile homes. Massive evacuations of all residents within 500 yards or shore possibly required, and single story residents within two miles of the shore. Example:
