Fierce Disasters Fierce Disasters A fifteen foot wall of water is ramming into the shore line and wind gusts of up to one hundred miles an hour are ripping trees out of the ground, breaking them as if they were tooth picks. There is complete darkness, the winds are increasing, and the waves are pushing objects that would normally take fifty men to move wherever they want, but this just the beginning. These storms can cost millions of dollars in damage, leave thousands homeless, and can kill hundreds of helpless people. An awareness of the history and development of storms, the use of hi-tech tracking equipment, and a respect for power of these storms, better prepares today’s public to deal with hurricanes. Few people truly have an understanding of where and how hurricanes develop. The hurricane season starts during late summer and early fall along the coast line of North America and the Caribbean, but in the western hemisphere the season lasts all year long (Knowledge 293). A hurricane develops when condensation occurs and rises. Surrounding air spirals around the sea of low pressure and clouds form creating a thunder -storm (Knowledge 293).
