	Hurricane - Facts from the Encyclopedia - Yahoo! Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Hurricanes and typhoons usually move westward at about 10 mph (16 kph) during their early stages and then curve poleward as they approach the western boundaries of the oceans at 20° to 30° lat., although more complex tracks are common.
		One to three hurricanes typically approach the U.S. coast annually, some changing their direction from west to northeast as they develop; as many as six hurricanes have struck the United States in one year.
		A hurricane warning is issued when hurricane conditions (winds greater than 74 mph/119 kph or dangerously high water and rough seas) are expected in 24 hours or less.

	U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District - Hurricane Agnes - 1972
		Hurricane Agnes was the first hurricane of the season.
		When Agnes slammed into the Gulf Coast on June 19, 1972, danger to Pittsburgh had seemed remote, but the following day, while the storm center was still over Florida, its currents forced moist Atlantic Ocean air inland, dropping widespread rains on Pennsylvania.
		District reservoirs during the Agnes Flood prevented $849,219,800 in damages, nearly four times what it had cost to build the projects, and adding local protection projects, the flood damages prevented more than a billion dollars of damages.
