When describing a hurricane there are parts that cannot be left out, it’s important to know how these storms start. For a hurricane to start you have to have some type of warm water source and winds that are blowing in the same direction that the hurricane is going, after the main ingredients comes the transformation of the rain clouds and wind. The transformation, is the change into a tropical disturbance, after more wind and more clouds building comes the transformation into a depression, the depression becomes a storm when winds reach 39 mph or over, after the depression comes the Category 1 hurricane. When, hurricanes starts it doesn’t just quit, the winds keep rising causes the damage and the strength to rise with it, along with the strength and damage, the hurricane goes up on the Saffir- Simpson Scale. The Saffir- Simpson Scale ranks the hurricane in categories, Cat 1 (Category 1) has winds from 74- 95 mph, then when wind get over 95 mph it turns into a Cat 2 which has winds of 96-110 mph, next it’s Cat 3 with raging winds of 111- 129 mph, winds keep rising and Cat 3 goes to a Cat 4 (wind speeds 130-156 mph), obviously after Cat 4 it’s a Cat 5 which is the most powerful on there is (winds 157 mph and over).
