Hurricanes

Hurricane:

a violent tropical cyclone with winds moving at 73 or more miles per hour, often accompanied by torrential rains.

Cyclones:

a storm with strong winds rotating clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

Preparing for a Hurricane

When preparing for a hurricane cross tape over the windows to prevent flying glass, and then put boards over the big windows and stormshutters. Usually, a Hurricane watch is within 24 to 36 hours before the hurricane is acually in your area.

After that, go into your basement with a battery powered radio and flashlight so if the electricity goes out, you'll be able to know when the storm is over. Then get buckets and pails of water because the water mains might be broken. And have a first aid handy for any injuries.
