if they have not had personal experience, they have heard and seen print and broadcast news about them. Hurricanes have been occurring with greater frequency and they have also
been more severe. Hurricanes only form under the right conditions. They begin as a tropical disturbance, graduating to a tropical storm and finally reaching hurricane status. A tropical disturbance happens
when there is low atmospheric pressure in the air over the tropical regions over the Atlantic Ocean (The American National Red Cross, 2001). Meteorologists begin watching as storms begin to
emerge from Africa and trace those weather fronts across the Atlantic into the Caribbean Islands and then to the East or Gulf coasts of the U.S. Hurricanes are experienced primarily
in "the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and in the eastern Pacific Ocean" (University at Albany, 2008). Hurricanes fall under the general umbrella of tropical cyclones
(University at Albany, 2008). These weather anomalies happen during the summer and fall months, e.g., from June through November. Thunderstorms begin and when wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour,
it is identified as a topical storm and it is given a name (The American National Red Cross, 2001). The storm absorbs warm and humid air from the lower
atmosphere and at the same time, it releases drier and cooler air into the atmosphere (The American National Red Cross, 2001). The tropical storm becomes a hurricane when the winds
reach a speed of 70 miles per hour; the winds rotate in a counterclockwise manner around the "eye" of the storm, which is the core and the quite and calm
part (University at Albany, 2008). They hit land with fierce winds and rain, which leads to flooding. Hurricanes are often accompanied with thunderstorms and tornadoes. Hurricanes are identified by
