Low-res Natural Hazards - Hurricanes Hurricanes bring destructive winds, storm surge, torrential rain, flooding, and tornadoes. A single storm can wreak havoc on coastal and inland communities and on natural areas over thousands of square miles. In 2005, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma demonstrated the devastation that hurricanes can inflict and the importance of hurricane hazards research and preparedness. More than half of the U.S. population lives within 50 miles of a coast, and this number is increasing. Many of these areas, especially the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, will be in the direct path of future hurricanes. Hawaii is also vulnerable to hurricanes.

64. Tropical Twisters Contains pictures and movies about how hurricanes are created, why they move, and how dangerous they are. http://kids.earth.nasa.gov/archive/hurricane/

What are Hurricanes? Most people associate twisters with tornadoes, but in fact tropical twisters come from hurricanes. Hurricanes are what scientists call "strong Tropical Cyclones". They are formed when large areas of the ocean become heated, and the air pressure over that area drops. This causes thunderstorms and strong surface winds. Cyclones develop over tropical or sub-tropical waters (for example, in the Atlantic off the coast of Africa, or in the Pacific). As they travel long distances gathering energy from the ocean, they are likely to be classified as strong Tropical Cyclones. When the winds of a tropical storm reach 74 mph, then the storm is classified as a hurricane. How are Hurricanes Created? Why do Hurricanes Move? How Dangerous are They? One of NASA's most important missions is to develop an understanding of the total Earth system and study the effects of natural and human- induced changes on the global environment. To achieve these goals, NASA has developed satellites and ground programs which study and monitor hurricanes and other climatic events. ESE Kids Only Home ESE Homepage NASA Air ...

Contact Additional Resources State Health Departments Public Health Image Library The impact of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and the resulting death, injury, destruction, and population displacement were unprecedented in U.S. history. During 2005, 15 tropical storms became hurricanes. For the first time, four major hurricanes made landfall in the United States; three of those reached Category 5 intensity. The worst effects were felt from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. On August 29, Hurricane Katrina struck the U.S. Gulf Coast, causing severe damage from a two-story storm surge, powerful winds, and heavy rains. Approximately 80% of New Orleans was flooded after the surge from the Gulf of Mexico forced breaks in a levee, releasing water from Lake Pontchartrain into the city. Katrina became the deadliest U.S. hurricane since 1928 and likely the costliest natural disaster on record in the United States.

NOAA PRESS RELEASE NOAA: 2007 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook Update Issued: 9 August 2007 Realtime monitoring of tropical Atlantic conditions Realtime monitoring of tropical East Pacific conditions SUMMARY NOAA is predicting a very high likelihood (85% chance) of an above-normal 2007 Atlantic hurricane season , a 10% chance of a near-normal season, and only a 5% chance of a below-normal season, according to a consensus of scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center, National Hurricane Center, Hurricane Research Division, and Hydrometeorological Prediction Center. The outlook calls for an even higher probability of an above-normal season than was predicted in May (75%), and reiterates the expectation for a sharp increase in activity from the near-normal season observed last year. The 2007 season is expected to become the tenth above-normal season since the current active hurricane era began twelve years ago (in 1995). See NOAA’s definitions of above-, near-, and below-normal seasons.
