Hurricanes are powerful storms that form over warm ocean waters, characterized by strong winds and heavy rain. They can cause significant damage to coastal areas, leading to flooding, destruction of property, and loss of life. The intensity of a hurricane is measured using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which categorizes storms from 1 to 5 based on their wind speeds. These storms typically develop in tropical regions and can travel long distances across the ocean. As they approach land, they can weaken or strengthen, depending on various environmental factors. Preparedness and early warning systems are crucial for minimizing the impact of hurricanes on communities.
