< COMING SOON HURRICANE 2000
A hurricane is a gigantic
atmospheric heat pump. Over the tropics, energy
stored in the warm water is converted to heat in
the atmosphere. This heated air rises, creating an
area of low pressure at the surface. If conditions are
right, the low will intensify, pulling in more warm
and humid air, creating spiraling bands of thunderstorms
and intense winds. When the winds exceed 73mph, the storm
becomes a hurricane.
Hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th,
but the majority of the storms form in August, September
and October. Hurricanes come in different sizes and
intensities, but even the weaker ones can make your life
miserable. Hurricanes can produce flooding rains, damaging
winds, tornados and elevated sea levels (storm surges)
that can inundate coastal communities.
