Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and in the eastern Pacific Ocean. They gather heat and energy through contact with warm waters, and seawater evaporation increases their power.
Hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise direction and have winds of at least 74 miles per hour. As hurricanes cross over land, they bring heavy rain, strong winds and large waves called storm surges that damage buildings, trees and cars. The heavy waves are called a storm surge.
The best way to hurricane-proof homes is by installing hurricane straps, which attach the roof to the houses walls, and by installing storm shutters to protect windows against flying carried by hurricane winds.
