Hurricane

 A Hurricane starts with the warm water found near the equator. It is usually only formed in tropical regions where the ocean is at least 80 degree Fahrenheit. Those warm water evaporate and creates warm moist air that acts as fuels for the storm. Of course wind is also needed for the hurricane to from. 

Most hurricane are actually caused by the wind blowing across the atlantic Ocean from Africa. Those wind causes even more of the warm water to evaporate into the air. The warm moist goes up in the air where it cools down and the water vapor condeses back into liquid water droplets. Those water droplets from clouds including big and stormy oumulonimbus clouds! As the warm air continues to rise upward, the wind makes a circular motion around the center. Those circling winds gather up a bunch of big thunderstorm clouds. Once the spinning winds reaches 14 MPH, the storm has officially become a hurricane. 

Once a hurricane hits land. It runs out of warm water and it's winds begin to weaken. However storms can still cause a lot of damage to the communities near the coast. Fortunately we have satellites that can monitor the storm and the upcoming storm. Also monitoring it's conditions down here on the earth. Once A hurricane forms, the satellites helps predict the storm's intesity and track the hurricane minute by minute. The information delivers early warning and it helps poeple to stay safe.

From this the two pieces I've learn is; Most hurricanes (as what I said earlier) is formed in tropical regions where the temperature of the Ocean is at least 80 degree Fahrenheit..

Most of the Hurricanes were actually caused by the wind blowing across the Antartic Ocean from Africa.

Every year from June-December, It is hurricane season. 

Curacao is one of the island that is generally not hit by hurricanes. Curacao tends to be warmer than usual on the island during hurricane season. The reason behind this is because whenever there's a hurricane happening somewhere else, It takes all the wind leaving Curacao with less wind than usual, which leads to additional heat.

The last hurricane that struck Curacao in last September 23, 1877. There was actually no official names of hurricanes during that time. However is was know locally as Hurricane "Tecla" or "Orkan Grandi" . Those names means big hurricane in papiamento language.

My prediction - 

I think this might relate to The Cay because as you can tell by the cover of the book, Timothy and Phillip was holding onto the tree tighly and by the looks of it, they look like they're experiencing a storm because of the heavy rain and there's lot's of water splashes everywhere.

Well That is all for my blog! Thanks for reading!
