What is a Hurricane? A hurricane is a huge 

storm it can be up to 600 miles across and 

have strong winds spreading inward.  

Hurricanes gather heat and energy through 

warm water.   The center of the Hurricane is 

called "eye".   In the "eye" of the hurricane 

there is less chaos. 

What is a Storm surge? Storm surges are 

frequently the most devastating part of a 

hurricane.   As a hurricanes winds spin around 

and around the storm they push water into a 

mound at the storms center.   This mound of 

water becomes dangerous.

Who are the "hurricane hunters"?   The brave 

hurricane hunters work for the national oceanic 

and atmospheric administration (NOAA).   Each 

mission lasts about ten hours.

Hurricanes lose strength as they move over 

land.   The winds around the eye are usually the 

strongest.   Hurricanes can be tracked by 

weather satellites.   Hurricanes usually form 

over tropical areas of the world.

ther names for hurricanes are tyhoons, 

cyclones, and tropical storms.   Regions by 

oceans are most at danger from hurricanes.

rain.   In the pacific ocean hurricanes are called 

typhoons.
