Hurricanes - for Adults (Audience Pieces)

A hurricane is actually a very large drizzle and a monsterous blast of air that kicks off over the ocean.  A hurricane is actually several rain storms bunched together and whirling around.

The ocean makes a hurricane more powerful because it provides it with moisture.  The windy storm is considered a hurricane when it is a whopping 74 miles per hour.  A hurricane is known as a cyclone when it forms in the Indian Ocean.  A hurricane is announced as a typhoon in the western Pacific Ocean.

Hurricanes consume almost everything in its path.  A hurricane watch means there is a chance a hurricane will come through your area within 36 hours.  You must be observant and gather these things:  food and water for 2 weeks, a flash light and batteries, several changes of clothes and blankets, portable radio, and first aid kit.
