HURRICANES 1 Hurricanes Student's Name Institutional Affiliation Coursework Professor's Name Date HURRICANES 2 Hurricanes Hurricanes are among the most destructive and costly natural catastrophes on the planet. They are common in wet but damp weather areas and, as a result, are very different to natural settings. Warm ocean air rises into the storm as it moves westward across the tropical regions, forming a low-pressure depression underneath it. Water condenses and creates droplets high in the clouds, generating more heat to fuel the storm. When a storm's wind speeds exceed 74 mph, it becomes classed as a hurricane. However, residents take them very seriously in areas where storms are common since they destroy people and destroy vast quantities of property. Hurricanes may ruin and kill people in various ways; leave them homeless, orphaned children, and dissatisfy them. For instance, Hurricane Katrina, which resulted in 1.36 million individuals filing for FEMA aid, resulted in at least 1,800 fatalities (Reeves, 2017). Consequently, people should believe that by connecting actual population levels to destruction predictions, academics would better properly prepare for America's hurricane coastal catastrophe risk.
