coast arc forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes. Floods are

water level. The high winds, coastal flooding and heavy rains associated with a hurricane cause 
enormous damage.
Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit land they carry tremendous power 
with driving rain and wind.
Tornadoes are violent low-pressure storms. These storms occur most often during the summer months 
and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into 
the air. Tornadoes are capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground. They can pick up trees 
and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars. Both 
hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property every year. 
Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored.
