13 COMPREHENSION
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are large tropical storms that form over the oceans of the world. Smallstorms gather heat and energy from the warm ocean water. The heat from the watermakes the storms stronger and bigger. Soon some of these storms can form intohurricanes. Hurricanes that stay over warm water can become even larger and moreforceful, but they lose their power when they reach land. Hurricanes are storms that get names. A new list of names is created each year. Thefirst hurricane name starts with the letter A, like Amanda, and the names move through thealphabet as more hurricanes appear. Sometimes it is strange to think of a dangerousstorm having a persons name, but naming storms is a way to keep track of them. Hurricane clouds move in a circle around a point called an eye. The eye is the centerof the storm. In pictures of hurricanes, the eye is the scariest-looking part. To be called ahurricane, a storm must have winds of at least 74 miles per hour. But hurricanes can havewinds of more than 120 miles per hour! When a hurricane moves over land, there are heavy rains, large waves, and strongwinds. These can cause much damage to buildings, cars, roads, and trees. Also, flooding can occur when large waves called storm surges hit the beaches. Stormsurges are the main reason people are told to leave their homes and move to higherground during a hurricane. Scientists who study the weather watch these storms very closely so they can tellpeople how strong they are and where they are going. In the United States, hurricaneseason lasts from June 1 to November 30. People who live near the ocean find hurricaneseason very stressful. The National Hurricane Center says that everyone near the ocean should have afamily plan for dealing with a hurricane. They should also have a supply kit. This kit hasthings that are useful in a disaster, such as tools, water, food, first aid, and clothing. But itsays the best way to handle a hurricane is to leave town at the first reports of high winds.
