Hurricanes are major tropical storms. They usually happen during “Hurricane Season”. Hurricane season is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean. The hurricane winds pick up energy from the warm surface ocean water. When a hurricane crosses over land, it loses its strength. Hurricanes can vary in size and can have a diameter of up to 600 miles.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami studies hurricanes. The Center calls hurricanes with six different names. Hurricanes got their first names in 1953. First years hurricane names were only female names, but now scientists call them by female and male names. Hurricane Katrina was one of the deadliest hurricanes in history. It caused a lot of damage in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas.
