How hurricanes form:
The weather machines is a term that describes how the Sun, Earth, and atmosphere work together to create the weather. When storms reach 74 miles per hour they are called hurricanes they cause flooding and tons of damage. Storms are not called a hurricane until there 74 miles per hour. There name change in the Atlantic its name is a hurricane, in the pacific it is called typhoon, and in the Indian it is called cyclone.
Birth of a hurricane
The first step In hurricanes development is when thunderstorms come together to for a tropical disturbance. Hurricanes are called cyclones in the Indian and typhoons in the pacific. The hurricanes can die or get stronger. This depends whether there on land or water.
Measuring the storm
Meteorologists measure tropical disturbances with a Sipher Simpson scale. The storm is not called a hurricane (typhoon or clycone) until it reaches 74 miles per hour. The Sipher Simpson scale is based on catagories. Catagory 1 is 74-94 miles per hour. Catagory 2 is 96-110. The catagory 3 is 111-130. Catagory 4 is 131-155. And catagory 5 is 155 and any higher.
Tracking and Preparing for the storm
Meteorologists use radar and a Sipher Simpson scale to track the storm in this case they tracked Katrina. They know the strength by useing the sylhet Simpson scale to measure the wind giving them the catagory. Ways to prepare for Katrina and any other tropical disturbance is to buy bottled water and canned food. You need to stay hydrated and feed. Another thing you need is first aid. During storms if you get hurt or injured you have the medical supplies you need. This can help if you get injured and have no way to get medical attention. Keeping blankets is important to stay warm. Flashlights and candles are needed to give you light to see and not get hurt in your house, apartment, and or a building.
