Synergy: Hurricane


A hurricane is a strong tropical cyclone that typically forms over large bodies of warm water such as the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean. Winds move in a circular pattern around a central, clear eye. These storms can cause high winds, heavy rain, flooding, and even tornados.

THE DEADLIEST HURRICANES THEN AND NOW by Deborah Hopkinson explores the most catastrophic hurricanes in American history. Using fast-paced narratives, graphics, historical photos, and pull-out boxes, the author examines the science, history, and destructive impact of these weather events.
