Hurricanes can be all found over the world. Hurricanes are severe weather systems. Severe means really REALLY HORRIBLE!!! Hurricanes are sometimes the most violent storms on earth.

Hurricanes are huge storms. They can get up to 600 miles across the land. They have strong wind spirals and sometimes hurricanes can live over a week. Hurricanes bring lots of clouds, rain and wind. They can make lots of floods. Hurricanes turn clockwise which in north hemisphere and anticlockwise direction in the southern hemisphere. The center of the hurricane that’s the eye. The eye is dead silent you can not hear a thing. In new zealand they call it cyclones. In australia they call them hurricanes. Hurricanes only form by the ocean having really warm salty water. The air cools of the higher you go. The wind must be blowing in the same direction at  the same speed to force air upward to the ocean surface. Winds flow outwards above the storm allowing the air from the bottom to rise.

Hurricanes form between 5 to 15 degrees latitude north and south equator.

Storm surges are frequently the most devastating element of a hurricane.  A hurricane will cause more of a storm surge in areas. The amount of water is dangerous it can flood houses and all kinds of stuff. The water can go into people’s houses you would not want that to happen you would have to clean it all up.

For me I would not like to be in a hurricane but luckily we don’t have them here sometimes we only have little hurricanes known as cyclones. I don’t think anyone would want to be in a hurricane with all the rain and wind and
