Hurricanes are large circular storms that are formed over warm ocean water.
Hurricanes have winds that have a speed of 75 mph or more. The picture to the left shows a hurricane. Notice that the storm circulates around a central point in the center of the storm. This central point is called the eye of the storm.
Hurricanes form over the warm water of the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. They are most common during the summer months of August and September.
