Here Comes a Hurricane
Hurricane season is coming on June 1st but don't worry! It will end on November 30th. Hurricanes start when warm moist air rises up from the ocean. The rising air filled with water vapor, makes big storm clouds. This process puts the big storm clouds together. Then the cold air goes under the clouds. The clouds swirl around fast, faster, fastest like a huge merry go round. Soon strong wind starts blowing and a hurricane is born.
