The opening page has a large animated graphic which takes a while to load. This site is a great introduction to these huge storms for younger students. The Miami Museum of Science is building this new site to help younger students understand hurricanes and how to prepare for them. The site includes lots of graphics showing how storms develop, as well as information on how to stay safe if there's a hurricane headed your way. The site includes a teachers guide, as well as a section for children who have survived a hurricane.
Additional features are on the way.
