I magine a black sky, a screaming wind, and water everywhere. Rain doesn't come straight down during a hurricane, the wind drives the raindrops horizontal. When the rain hits your face you think someone is throwing needles at you. An average hurricane brings about 6 to 12 inches of rainfall. You can't stop the wind from constantly screaming at you no matter where you go.
Hurricanes are powerful and to say they pack a punch is an understatement.
While a hurricane lives, the transaction of energy within the storm's circulation is immense. The condensation heat energy released by a hurricane in one day can be the equivalent of energy released by fusion of four hundred, 20-megaton hydrogen bombs. One day's release energy, converted to electricity, could supply America's electrical needs for about six months. A mature hurricane orchestrates as much as a million cubic miles of atmosphere. Over the deep ocean, waves generated by hurricane winds can reach heights of 50 feet or more.
