A hurricane is the most powerful storm that forms on the Earth. A hurricane forms over warm ocean water. As it grows in size and intensity, its powerful winds begin rotating around a center, like water going down a drain. Because of the physics phenomenon known as the Coriolis effect, hurricanes that form in the Northern Hemisphere feature winds that move counter clockwise, while those that form in the Southern Hemisphere feature winds that move clockwise. In the center of a powerful hurricane (called the eye), air may sink rather than rise, which suppresses cloud formation, leading to calm skies and wind. The eye of a hurricane can be up to 240 miles in diameter but is normally between 20 and 40 miles in diameter. The clouds on the edge of the eye form the eye wall of the hurricane. These clouds typically feature the hurricane’s strongest winds, highest clouds and fiercest rainfall. When hurricanes hit land, they cause massive damage, storm surges, major wind damage, rogue waves, and flooding. Once they hit land, however, they quickly weaken as they are no longer being powered by warm ocean water.
