Because if they can't find a body they can't class them as dead. Additionally, stronger storms often have more strongly worded warnings, causing more people to evacuate. However, historically the stronger storms have been the deadliest.
Earthquakes have caused more deaths than hurricanes, and hurricanes have caused more deaths than lightning.
Because the hurricane gets its energy from the heat in warm water, and in cooler water there is less heat and thus less energy
Tornados are
Yes
They want to know how much distruction it caused and if the hurricanes got stronger from the past.
Hurricanes are generally stronger than blizzards. Hurricanes have stronger winds, more widespread impacts, and can cause more damage than blizzards, which are characterized by heavy snowfall and strong winds.
Yes, hurricanes get their heat and energy from warm seawater. When warm ocean water evaporates and rises, it releases heat into the atmosphere, providing the fuel needed for hurricanes to form and intensify.
Yes. Hurricane Katrina was one of the most intense hurricanes ever recorded.
No, lightning typically kills fewer people than hurricanes or tornadoes. On average, lightning causes around 30-60 deaths per year in the United States, while hurricanes and tornadoes can cause hundreds of deaths in a single event.
Yes. Hurricanes are common in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Tornadoes are less common, but can be produced by hurricanes.
In most cases the wind speeds fall into the same range. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to produce winds in excess of 150 mph, which are rarely attained by hurricanes. The most violent tornadoes do produce stronger winds than even the most intense hurricanes.
During an El Nino event, there tends to be fewer hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean. This is because El Nino conditions typically create stronger wind shear over the Atlantic, which can inhibit hurricane formation and intensification.
