A hurricane is a type of very powerful storm that forms over warm ocean water. Specifically a hurricane is a tropical cyclone. Hurricanes bring powerful winds that, in many cases, can be matched only by a tornado. But that is not the main danger. The winds of a hurricane push ocean water onto land in what is called the storm surge, causing extensive coastal flooding. They also produce torrential rain the goes on for hours, which can result in inland flooding.
