I also used an encyclopedia and books. Some of the pictures I used were hand-drawn, the others were printed on the computer. That part was the easiest part. The hardest part was putting all of the information into my own words, but I did it with a little bit of help. One interesting fact I learned was that when a hurricane moves over land it gets weaker and weaker until it turns into a tropical storm.
Flooding causes much of the hurricane damage.
Of all the deaths that occur during hurricanes, nine out of ten are caused by its extremely high winds. A storm must have winds blowing up to seventy-five miles per hour to be considered a hurricane. Many hurricanes carry winds up to two hundred miles an hour. Those were most of the interesting facts I found. The most important issue about hurricanes was the great amount of damage they cause and also the outrageous amount of deaths.
