They are all tropical storms whose winds reach around 74 miles per hour or even more. Their wind blows in a spiral direction around a relatively calm area known as “The Eye”. The eye is usually 20 to 30 miles wide. The most violent activity takes place in the area immediately around the eye, called “The Eyewall”. As the hurricane approaches, the sky begins to darken, and the wind gets stronger. As it nears lands, it may bring torrential rain, storm surges, and very high winds. One hurricane can last for more than 2 weeks in open waters. The heavy rain brought by a hurricane not only threatens coastal areas, but it also hits areas hundreds of miles inland. In some cases, flooding occurs days after a storm actually hits shore.Months when it occurs include: August and September are the peak months during hurricane season. Hurricane season is between June 1st and November 30th.The name Hurricane was applied to migratory tropical cyclones. They originate over oceans in certain regions near the equator, and particularly to those arising in the West Indian region, including the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. In the North Pacific and Philippines area are “typhoons” while in the Indian and South Pacific Ocean are “cyclones.”Safety Tips:Outdoor Safety Tips:Leave low-lying areas.Moor your boat securely or evacuate it.Protect your windows with boards, shutters, or tape.If at the Beach, watch for waves coming inland.Secure outdoor objects or bring them indoors.Fuel your car.Save several days' water supply.Stay at home if it is sturdy and on high ground.Leave mobile homes for more substantial shelter.Stay indoors during a hurricane.Indoor Safety:Listen for storm advisories and warnings on the radioCheck your supplies, camping equipment, and emergency cooking equipment.If in a public building, get away from glassIf driving or riding in a car, get out, and seek cover under a freeway overpass, doorway or stairwell.Avoid power lines, trees, buildings and windows.After the Cyclone Safety Tips :Avoid driving if possible.
