Hurricane facts
|
A Tropical depression becomes a Tropical storm when sustained wind speeds reach 39mph. It remains a Tropical Storm from 39> mph till 73mph. A tropical storm becomes a Hurricane at 74 MPH (sustained winds)
Hurricanes have male and female names, but at one point only female names were used. Most hurricanes rage harmlessly in the sea. Australians call hurricanes, willy-willies. The New England Hurricane of 1938 is reported to have the fastest forward speed for a hurricane at 70 mph. The forward speed for an average hurricane is less than 20 mph. Hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean runs from June 1 to November 30.
The word hurricane comes from the Taino Native American word, hurucane, meaning evil spirit of the wind. A tropical storm is classified as a hurricane once winds goes up to 74 miles per hour or higher. Hurricanes are the only weather disasters that have been given their own names. Typical hurricane can dump 6 inches to a foot of rain across a region. The most violent winds and heaviest rains take place in the eye wall, the ring of clouds and thunderstorms closely surrounding the eye. Every second, a large hurricane releases the energy of 10 atomic bombs. Hurricane Floyd was barely a category I hurricane, but it still managed to mow down 19 million trees and caused over a billion dollars in damage. Most people who die in hurricanes are killed by the towering walls of sea water that comes inland. In the Pacific Ocean, Hurricanes are generally known as typhoons. In the Indian Ocean they are called tropical cyclones. The man who first gave names to hurricanes was an Australian weather forecaster named C. Wragge in the early 1900s. Hurricane season is from June to November when the seas are at their warmest and most humid, which are ripe conditions for a hurricane to develop. In 1938, a man on Long Island bought a barometer. The instrument signaled a hurricane but the man thought it was defective and went back to the store to complain. When he returned, he found his house has been swept away from a hurricane. It turned out the barometer was correct.
