Hurricane Irene is not expected to directly hit Pennsylvania, though it will feel Irene's effects. The storm should move by on late Saturday into early Sunday (August 27-28).
Why did hurricane Irene form?
It formed by a tropical storm about 200 miles off of the tropical island. As it started to move west the wave got faster and the winds got heavier. That is totally peak
Where did hurricane Irene hit geographically?
The first land Hurricane Irene (then a tropical storm) affected were the Lesser Antilles. After that Irene hit Puerto Rico shortly before becoming a hurricane. It then move through the Bahamas where it reached its strongest point. After that it weakened fore striking the eastern U.S. from North Carolina up through New England.

What is hurricane Irene's path?

What is faster a hurricane or tornado?
In terms of wind speed, tornado and hurricane winds usually fall into the same range. Tornadoes are capable of producing stronger winds than hurricanes are, however. In terms of traveling speed, tornadoes generally move faster but, again, there is a good deal of overlap.
Why did hurricane sandy move to the US?
Hurricane Sandy's impact on the U.S. east coast was largely the result of something called a blocking pattern. Hurricane Sandy first formed over the Caribbean Sea and moved northward. This was likely due to the Azores High, a semipermmanent high pressure area over the Atlantic that plays a major role in the paths of Atlantic hurricanes. As Sandy moved parallel to the east coast a powerful high pressure system over Greenland stalled the normal eastward flow of weather systems in the temperate latitudes and prevented Sandy from moving further north. So Sandy made an unprecedented turn to the west and into the U.S. East Coast.
How was Hurricane Sandy created?
Hurricane Sandy started the way many hurricanes do, as a tropical wave. This wave move over the Caribbean Sea. It gained strength as it fed off the moisture that evaporated from the warm water and organized into a tropical depression on October 22, 2012. A few hours later that depresion strengthened into Tropical Storm Sandy. Continuing to feed on the moisture, Sandy strengthened into a hurricane shortly before landfall in Jamaica on October 24, and continued to strengthen before striking Cuba early on October 25. Later, though, as Sandy moved up the U.S. east coast and started becoming post-tropical something unusual happened. Sandy started to combine with a cold front that had come in from the east. Because of this, Sandy actually reintensified and grew to an enormous size where it normally would have weakened. By the time of landfall in the U.S. Sandy was no longer a true hurricane, but a very intense post-tropical cyclone.
What causes a hurricane to travel with force?
a hurricane does not travel or move the energy inside it makes it move

Why do the particles move faster in a vacuum?
Particles do not move faster in a vacuum. Particles move faster when the temperature increases.
