Hurricanes are powerful tropical storms characterized by strong winds, heavy rainfall, and low atmospheric pressure. They typically form over warm ocean waters and can cause significant damage through high winds, storm surges, and flooding when they make landfall. The Saffir-Simpson scale classifies hurricanes into five categories based on their wind speeds and potential damage. Additionally, hurricanes can weaken rapidly over land due to the lack of warm water to sustain them.
