11. The Formation of Hurricanes
First , Hurricanes start off as weak tropical cyclones
that surface in warm waters that are approximately
80 degrees Fahrenheit

12. Secondly, when the storm gains over thirty-eight miles per hour, the storms becomes a tropical depression

13. When speeds excel over thirty-nine miles per hour, it becomes a tropical storm.
Tropical Storm Faye, 2008

14. Tropical, large swirling storms with wind speeds of greater than 74 miles per hour are hurricanes.
Hurricane Hugo, September 21-22, 1989

15. What to Do After a Hurricane
Stay updated by listen to your local news, radio, or weather radio.
Stay put until told the area is clear to go into
Do not walk on weakened area, only walk on solid ground
Do not use flames inside a closed building
Look around for damages in any water, gas, and electrical supplies.

16. What to Do Before and During A Hurricane
Before a Hurricane
Make sure to constantly keep trees and shrub cut
Keep non-perishable food items are available quickly
Make sure to have access to drinking water
Examine what your insurance policy covers
If you live in a mobile home, make sure that there is a alternate place to go during a Hurricane Watch.
During a Hurricane
Remove yourself from any windows or doors even though they may be covered
Lay down on the floor or under a sturdy object
I living in a two or more story house, immediately go to the base, or the first floor of the house
Stay on alert for incoming tornadoes
