HURRICANE SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED : Hurricanes Hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico seen from space.
A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone or severe tropical storm that
forms in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico,
and in the eastern Pacific Ocean. A typical cyclone is accompanied by
thunderstorms, and in the Northern Hemisphere, a counterclockwise
circulation of wind s near the earth’s surface.
All Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastal areas are subject to
hurricanes. Parts of the Southwest United States and the Pacific Coast
also experience heavy rains and floods each year from hurricanes spawned
off Mexico. The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June to November,
with the peak season from mid-August to late October. The Eastern
Pacific hurricane season begins May 15 and ends November 30.
Hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage to coastlines and several
hundred miles inland. Hurricane can produce winds exceeding 155 miles
per hour as well as tornadoes and mircrobursts. Additionally, hurricanes
can create storm surges along the coast and cause extensive damage from
heavy rainfall. Floods and flying debris from the excessive winds are
often the deadly and destructive results of these weather events. Slow
moving hurricanes traveling into mountainous regions tend to produce
especially heavy rain. Excessive rain can trigger landslides or mud
slides. Flash flooding can occur due to intense rainfall. |
