A hurricane is a large storm with rotating winds. They form over the warm waters of the ocean when there is large pressure and different temperatures over the ocean. The clouds pull up moisture and the air near the surface of the water up, towards the clouds, which causes a funnel. Many hurricanes cause severe flooding. In fact, about 90 percent of the deaths that occur during hurricanes result from drowning in floods. The center of a hurricane is called the “eye”. Usually, the eye is the calmest part of the hurricane, so the winds are light and the sky is clear.

Everyone needs to be prepared for the unexpected. Your friends and family may not be together when disaster strikes. How will you find each other? Will you know if your children or parents are safe? You may have to evacuate or get to your home. What will you do if water, gas, electricity or phone services are shut off? Stock your emergency supply kit with basic survival items. You’ll want to have a 2-week supply of water and ready-to-eat, non-perishable food for every family member and pet. If you evacuate, you’ll want a 3-day supply of the same. Other items to add to your supply kit include: Manual can opener Essential medicines including eyeglasses and contact lenses Personal hygiene items such as toilet paper, toothbrush and toothpaste Change of clothing Paper towels, hand sanitizer, and eating utensils First-aid kit Battery-powered flashlight and radio with extra batteries Blankets, pillows and sleeping bags Mosquito repellant and citronella candles 2 coolers—one for food, one for ice Plastic tarp for roof/window repairs and tools Special items for infant, elderly or disabled family members
