HOW HURRICANES ARE FORMED
Before the town ripping house destroying hurricane comes the making of of the it. First moist warm air and condenses into the clouds. More moist air is then drawn over the surface of the ocean. It all spirals upward starts forming into the twister form. This keeps on forming until the hurricane dies down. Warm and moist air goes in the bottom and powers the hurricane. The eye wall is the most dangerous part of the hurricane the winds are at the greatest speed. On the other hand the eye is the safest place it is a very calm area.
WEATHER INSTRUMENTS
Long ago many people have been struck by hurricanes unexpectedly, but now we have instruments to tell us when the hurricane us going to hit.

BAROMETER
A barometer measures air pressure. When the air pressure rises it tells us that calm weather is happening. When the air pressure drops it tells of stormy weather. The barometer is normally found on homes and schools.

HYDROMETER
A hygrometer measures the amount of moisture in the air. Warm air can hold more moisture moisture then cold air. This tool is very important since a hurricane is powered by moisture in the air.

ANEMOMETER
An anemometer measures wind speed. Every time the blades spin around it is registered on a dial indoors. Long ago in violent storms anemometers have been destroyed and blown away.

HURRICANE NAMES
In the 1800 only the most destructive hurricanes we're named. Once it was possible to track tropical storms scientists needed a way to identify them. In 1953 the first tropical storm of the season was given a woman's name starting with the letter A. The next woman's name started with a B and so on. In 1979 men's names were on the list. Names repeat every six years, but if a storm is extremely violent the name is taken off of the list. Different kinds of name are used for different parts of the world. For example, if a hurricane is within 1,000 miles of Hawaii it will have a Hawaiian name.
