There are usually hurricanes in the months of August, September, and October. They start in the ending of summer and the beginning of the fall. Most Hurricanes start in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. Some hurricanes move over the ocean and never reach the seacoast. People who live on the coast are very lucky because they have time to get away the storm before it reaches them.
Hurricanes are big, powerful, and dangerous storms.
During a hurricane trees can be pulled out by the roots and knocked over. Roofs can be torn from houses, and walls cave in. Electric wires can be torn and do a lot of damage. Weather watchers keep track of the big hole in the center of the known as the doughnut, to see if it is getting any bigger and which direction the center of the doughnut is moving. When people hear that there is a hurricane coming they cover all of their windows with boards and they take their tables and chairs indoors.
