	1955 Atlantic hurricane season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hurricane Janet was one of the most intense storms ever recorded in the Atlantic basin; it struck Belize as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, killing hundreds and causing catastrophic damage.
		The second Hurricane Alice of 1954 was originally believed to have developed in early January of 1955 and thus have been the first storm of the 1955 season; however, it was later discovered to have developed in late December of 1954 and was reclassified as a storm of the 1954 season.
		Janet formed as a small tropical storm on September 21 east of the Lesser Antilles.

	Belize weather climate hurricanes storms northers
		Hurricanes are classified as tropical depressions when wind speeds are less then 64 knots, and full blown hurricanes once they reach sustained winds of 64 knots.
		A hurricane's winds are caused by air near the ocean rushing inward to replace air that's rising in the storm.
		A hurricane grows weaker when it moves over cool water or over land, which cuts off the supply of warm, humid air, which is the storm's energy source.

		Reports of hurricanes at sea began to become practical after ships got radios; the first wireless report of a hurricane was in 1909.
		The first flight into a hurricane was performed on a bet, in 1943, and afterwards other pilots wanted to try, and meteorological data started being taken.
		We are invited to admire that genius of amateur science, Benjamin Franklin, who noted in 1743 that a storm seemed to have tracked from Philadelphia to Boston, and who was the first to speculate that such storms travel along the country but contain winds different from their overall direction of movement.
