Hurricanes are monster storms that slammed our coasts every year. They form over water during the summer and through late fall. Hurricanes can pack quite a punch of every force of nature reckened with. Their power comes from the wind and powerful storm surges. Water can damage everything in their way including concerte levees. That can happen to every hurricane including Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Tornadoes can also form from the outer bands of hurricanes.
The 2007 Hurricane season had a total of 4 hurricanes that hit the U.S. The very first hurricane in 2007 was Dean on August 16th. Dean made an direct path into the Yuncatan Pennsiula then into Texas. Felix came next on September 2nd. It followed the same path Dean took a month ago. Humberto wasn't far behind. It hit on September 13th on the Louisana border. The very last hurricane in 2007 was Noel on November 3. It formed right off the Florida coast and became an nor easter on the east coast.
The 2008 Hurricane season is now upon us. The very first hurricane in 2008 was Bertha on July 7th. Bertha formed right off the Atlantic but it did not come up here. Dolly came from behind on July 21st. Dolly hit the Texas coast then moved into Mexico. Next came Gustav. It arrived on August 26th. It hit the same area that Katrina hit three years ago. Gustav wasn't as strong as Katrina was. Hanna came next on September 1st. It hit South Carolina and maintained its tropical storm strength and dumped its power on southern New England. Hurricane Ike is now the recent hurricane and it expected to make land fall on Houston Texas. God Help Them! The next blog will be about the power of lightening.
