In the second half of each year,many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen become the strong, circling winds of 74 miles per hour or more that are called hurricanes, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.

The great storms that hit the coast start soft circling wind hundreds - even thousands - of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried to move westward by the southeast winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins counter-clockwise motion.

The  life  of a  hurricane  is  only  about  nine  days, but  it  contains  almost  more  power  than  we  can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inches downpour, causing sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea - the mountains of water moving  toward the hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
