How does a hurricane impact?

First of all, a hurricane is a very powerful storm with two main parts, the eye and the clouds around it. It can be several hundred miles wide. The eye is the calm area in the middle of the hurricane, and the wall of clouds is the place where you get the wind and rain at it's strongest and heaviest. Once in a while, a tropical thunderstorm grows and grows, becoming a giant hurricane. First, the storm grows a little bit. It then combines with other thunderstorms, and they all spin around an area of low pressure. This is called a tropical depression. Next, the storm grows some more. Its' winds become stronger and it becomes a tropical storm. Then, the storm grows even more, its' winds become even faster, and it becomes a hurricane. Hurricanes develop over oceans that are warm and tropical. The water vapor above the warm water's surface keeps the hurricane from weakening, making it grow and giving it energy. When a hurricane moves into areas with cooler ocean water, it weakens. It will also weaken if it travels over land. The heat, humidity, and certain wind conditions can make a hurricane. Hurricanes move in the same direction as the currents of the wind around them. The air of the hurricane spirals down toward the area of low pressure. It spins instead of moving in a straight line because Earth doesn't spin at the same speed everywhere; it spins quicker near the equator, and more slowly near the North and South Poles.

Why are people sometimes fooled by the eye of a hurricane?

People may be fooled by the eye of a hurricane because it appears calm and sunny, giving a false sense of security. However, the most dangerous part of a hurricane is the eyewall surrounding the eye, which contains the strongest winds and heaviest rainfall. It's important to stay vigilant and take precautions even when in the eye of a hurricane.

Why is it easier to prepare for a hurricane than a tornado?

Hurricanes are large-scale systems that can be detected and tracked days before the strike, giving plenty of time for most people to prepare. A hurricane warning may be issued up to 36 hours in advance. Tornadoes are very small-scale storms that are less easily detected and develop in a matter of minutes. The average tornado warning is issued 14 minutes in advance.
