	Hurricane - MSN Encarta
		Hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones usually “recurve” in the direction of either the South Pole in the Southern Hemisphere or the North Pole in the Northern Hemisphere.
		Although the hurricane death toll steadily declined in the United States during the 20th century and at the start of the 21st century, the costs of damage soared as coastal populations grew and the value of property outstripped population growth.
		Before Hurricane Katrina, the costliest U.S. natural disaster was Hurricane Andrew, which hit the Miami, Florida, metropolitan area in 1992, causing $26.5 billion in damages, including both insured and uninsured losses.

	Structure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Hurricane Andrew (1992), the most devastating hurricane of this century, was a relatively small hurricane.
		This means that the wind direction at your location depends on where the hurricane's eye is. A boat on the northern edge of the orange area in Hurricane Fran (right) would experience winds from the east, while a boat on the southern edge would have westerly winds.
		As a general rule of thumb, the hurricane's right side (relative to the direction it is travelling) is the most dangerous part of the storm because of the additive effect of the hurricane wind speed and speed of the larger atmospheric flow (the steering winds).

		Although the conditions that produce hurricane landfalls are well known, they are often related to the daily weather patterns rather than the seasonal climate patterns, and are very difficult to predict at these extended ranges.
		Hurricane seasons during 1995-2004 have averaged 13.6 tropical storms, 7.8 hurricanes, 3.8 major hurricanes, and with an average ACE index of 159% of the median.

		Hurricanes are born over water, driven by solar energy stored in the ocean.
		Hurricanes, properly called tropical cyclones, can travel for weeks across the ocean, blasting islands and coastlines with fierce winds, torrential rains and swollen seas.
		Hurricanes are powered by heat in tropical oceans, and they start to weaken upon reaching land.

	Climate Prediction Center - Atlantic Hurricane Outlook Update
		As a result, it is currently not possible as part of this outlook to predict the number or intensity of landfalling hurricanes, or whether a given locality will be impacted by a hurricane this season. It is important that residents and government officials in hurricane-vulnerable communities have a hurricane preparedness plan in place.
		The regional atmospheric circulation anomalies contributing to these long-period fluctuations in hurricane activity is strongly linked to the tropics-wide multi-decadal signal (Bell and Chelliah, 2006).
		Hurricane seasons during 1995-2005 have averaged 15 named storms, 8.5 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes, with an average ACE index of 179% of the median.

		It isn't as bad for our airplane to fly through the hurricane as it is for a house to be hit by one, because the house is not supposed to move, and so it takes the full brunt of the wind, and the flat walls and edges of the roof are not "streamlined".
		Hurricane Season runs from June 1st - Nov 30th, so there is a potential for tropical cyclones during that month, but you are correct that it is traditionally a "slow" month for such storms.
		The diameter of the "gale force" and the "hurricane force" winds are important for warning ships in the path of the hurricane (how far away do they need to stay?), and also for warning people along the coast where the storm is expected to make landfall.

		Hurricanes have strong, rotating winds (at least 74 miles per hour or 119 kilometers per hour), a huge amount of rain, low air pressure, thunder and lightning.
		Hurricanes often travel from the ocean to the coast and on to land, where the wind, rain, and huge waves can cause extensive destruction.
		Generally, when a hurricane moves over land (or over cold ocean waters) the storm begins to weaken and quickly dies down because the storm is fueled by warm water.

	Science with NOAA Research: Hurricanes
		Hurricanes are also called typhoons and tropical cyclones in other parts of the world, but they are basically the same type of storm.
		In addition to strong winds that may damage homes and injure people, hurricanes can produce tornadoes, severe flooding and beach erosion. Most people who lose their lives during hurricanes live on the coast and are killed by a large sheet of ocean water moved by the hurricane called storm surge.
		People living in areas that are likely to be hit by a hurricane usually get advanced warning of a day or two and then have enough time to prepare for these huge powerful storms before they strike.
