The Formation of Hurricanes
First , Hurricanes start off as weak tropical cyclones
that surface in warm waters that are approximately
80 degrees Fahrenheit
Secondly, when the storm gains
over thirty-eight miles per hour,
the storms becomes a tropical
depression
When speeds excel over
thirty-nine miles per hour, it
becomes a tropical storm.
Tropical Storm Faye, 2008
Tropical, large swirling storms
with wind speeds of greater
than 74 miles per hour are
hurricanes.
Hurricane Hugo, September 21-22, 1989
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.
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
