2. Hurricanes Hurricans form in the water. They look like a big cloud except they have an eye in the middle. There was a few hurricanes that made it to the land but then it turned in to a torndo.

3. What is a hurricane What is a hurricane? A hurricane is a huge storm! It can be up to 600 miles across and have strong winds spiraling inward and upward at speeds of 75 to 200 mph. Each hurricane usually lasts for over a week, moving 10-20 miles per hour over the open ocean. Hurricanes gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters. Evaporation from the seawater increases their power. Hurricanes rotate in a counter- clockwise direction around an "eye." The center of the storm or "eye" is the calmest part. It has only light winds and fair weather. When they come onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and large waves can damage buildings, trees and cars.

4. What are hurricanes???? Hurricanes are cyclones that develop over the warm tropical oceans and have sustained winds in excess of 64 knots (74 miles/hour). These storms are capable of producing dangerous winds, torrential rains and flooding, all of which may result in tremendous property damage and loss of life in coastal populations. One memorable storm was Hurricane Andrew (pictured above), which was responsible for at least 50 deaths and more than $30 billion in property damage. The purpose of this module is to introduce hurricanes and their associated features, to show where hurricanes develop, and to explain the atmospheric conditions necessary for hurricane development. The Hurricane module has been organized into the following sections:

5. The global wind pattern is also known as the "general circulation" and the surface winds of each hemisphere are divided into three wind belts: Polar Easterlies: From 60-90 degrees latitude. Prevailing Westerlies: From 30-60 degrees latitude (aka Westerlies). Tropical Easterlies: From 0-30 degrees latitude (aka Trade Winds).

6. Hurricans from space. This is a hurricane from earth this is what it looks like from space. Hurricanes look cool from space but they are not fun to be in.

7. Katrina in action Katrina was one of the most dangrous storm ever. She left people hurt dead and some just fine. Some were fighting for there life. She floded the whole city.

8. Saffier Simpson scale anyone Controls the damage that is caused. Controls wind levels And here is a example of a saffier Simpson chart.

10. Hurricane waking up!!!!! This is a picture of a hurricane forming in the pacific ocean. It is call Lihue

11. Hurricane floods city This a flood from a hurricane in the islands. Here is a picture of a house that flooded  there it is isn't that sad:[

12. Percentage of people who died. Many people died in Katrina's hurricane. So here the percentage.
