Hurricane

Hurricanes are large vortexes infamous for their spinning, banded shape. Hurricane intensity varies, from the weakest, with 74 mph windspeeds, to a category 5 190 miles-per-hour monster.

Hurricanes could be deadly; recent examples include: Maria, Irma, Harvey, Florence, Michael, etc.
Or they could just drag off to the ocean, as most do.

A average hurricane season has 7 hurricanes.
2 of these 7 average hurricanes, in average, strike the USA.

The strongest part of a hurricane is the "eyewall", the outer part of the eye of the storm. But, inside of that eyewall; sits the eye, the calmest part of the storm.

Hurricanes lose power over land and colder waters, and gain power in areas of low shear and hot water, which is needed for the storm.

Hurricane Name change for basins:

Indian Ocean : Cyclone
Northeast Pacific : Typhoon
Atlantic : Hurricane

"Hurricane Katrina is heading towards Mississippi and Louisiana, and could bring flooding into the plains."

"Hurricane Irma has made landfall in Cuba as a category 4. It's now heading for Florida at the same intensity."

hurricane hoarder

Someone who justifies cramming his home full of stuff by saying that it protects his home by weighing it down too much to be blown away in high winds.

Red Green gives humorous lectures about why men like to obtain/save stuff that they never use, but he never mentions the hurricane hoarder as another type of dude who possesses a valid-sounding reason for not re-evaluating. Maybe I should suggest that idea to him.

Hurricane Ian

A category 3 hurricane that suddenly had a certain urge to hit tampa because of its hate twards it because they always say that Miami is a " copy of tampa "

Might also explain why the hurricane was nice enough to not even touch miami.

" Hey , have you heard about hurricane Ian? "
" Yeah man , it killed tampa. "
" Oh dang. "
" Yeah , but at least school was canceled? "
" No, im just happy it hit tampa because they deserve it. "
