Hurricanes can be caused by many forces acting upon one anotherThe hurricane
must

form over ocean water that is 26.5* C. Hurricanes draw their energy from warm
waters. The

atmosphere must be unstable. The cyclone has to be at most 500 kilometers
from the equator,

because the Coriolis force is not present there. The Coriolis Force makes the
cyclone spiral and

maintain it’s low pressure. A high pressure area must be present above the
storm, which

pushes away the air that is rising from the storm. Hurricanes may not always
form in these

conditions, but they always have to be present.

Hurricane are categorized into 5 categories, starting with the smallest and
working its way

up to the largest Category I Hurricanes have winds of 118-153, storm surges
of 1.2 meters and

cause very little damage. Category II hurricanes have winds of 154 through
177. Storm surges,

swells, up to 1.7 meters and damage to shrubbery, mobile homes, and small
crafts. Category III

have winds from 178-210, storm surges up to 2.7 meters. Damage is done to
Trees, roofs, mobile

homes, some flooding occurs, and damage is done to roofs. Category IV have
winds from 211-

249. Storm surges get to an amazing 4.0 meters. Damage is done to all signs,
roofing, major

flooding, and evacuation is planned. Category V hurricanes, the most deadly
of all hurricanes has

winds of 250 plus. Enormous surges of 5.5 meters plus and damage is done to
nearly everything.

Hurricanes are born in the ocean no more than 500 kilometers from the
equator. The

water has to be warm and high pressure areas must be present.

Hurricane season affects the eastern coast, the Caribbean, and Central
America it

occurs from June to November, when waters are warm and pressure is high. In
the

Pacific ocean it can occur year-round.

The hurricane is made up of three different parts. The eye, the eye wall, and
spiral

rain bands. The eyes is the center of the hurricane, and is produced by
spiraling of the storm.
