Hurricanes are large tropical storms with heavy winds. By definition, they contain winds in excess of 74 miles per hour (119 km per hour) and large areas of rainfall. In addition, they have the potential to create dangerous tornadoes. The strong winds and excessive rainfall also produce abnormal rises in sea levels and flooding.To learn more about hurricanes (AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW) check out this site:
