Ouragans (= Hurricanes)

Hurricanes...

... are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Hurricanes gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters. Evaporation from the seawater increases their power.

Hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise direction around an 'eye.' Hurricanes have winds at least 74 miles per hour. When they come onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings, trees and cars. The heavy waves are called a storm surge. Storm surges are very dangerous and a major reason why you MUST stay away from the ocean during a hurricane warning or hurricane.

• Vocabulaire :
• to gather : rassembler
• heat : chaleur
• to increase : augmenter
• power : puissance
• counter clock-wise direction : dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d'une montre
• a wave : une vague
• a warning : une alerte

Between 1950 and 1978, hurricanes were given girl names. But before that, hurricanes were numbered, not named.
