How A Hurricane Forms
The people who gives names to the hurricanes are the '' Worlds Meteorolisist Organization''. They also pick names by the location of them. The girls names go first then the guys. But the names go in alphabetical order. The categories are based on the wind speed. So if you read about a hurricane its going to say a category.
Category :1) Wind speed up to 74-95 mph.
2) Wind speed up to 96-110 mph.
3) Wind speed up to 111-130 mph.
4) Wind speed up to 131-155 mph.
Those are the categories for a hurricane.
