What is a hurricane?


assistant
A hurricane is a form of a tropical cyclone.  They usually start in the middle of the ocean near the equator in warm waters and develop in size to thousands of miles wide.  They have a low pressure center, are spiral in nature, and are characterized by high winds.  They are very destructive due to their high winds, torrential rain, and storm surge when they approach land.
