Hurricane

1 A hurricane（腿风）is a tropical storm with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74 miles per
hour. Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral（螺旋）around a relative calm center known as the"eye".The
"eye" is generally 20 to 30 miles wide,and the storm may extend outward 400 miles.As a hurricane nears
land,it can bring heavy rains,high winds,and storm surges（风暴潮）.The storm surges and heavy rains
can lead to flooding.
2 Hurricanes are given a different label,depending on where they occur.If they begin over the North
Atlantic Ocean,the Caribbean Sea,the Gulf 0f Mexico,or the Northeast Pacific Ocean,they are called hur-
ricanes.Similar storms that occur in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the International Date line are called
typhoons.Near Australia and in the Indian Ocean,they are referred to as tropical cyclones（龙卷风）.
3 When a hurricane hits land,it can do great damage through its fierce winds,heavy rains,inland
（内陆的）flooding,and huge waves crashing on to the shore. During a hurricane,homes,businesses,and
public buildings may be damaged or destroyed;roads and bridges can he washed away.A powerful hurricane
can kill more people and deRtroy more property than ally other natural disaster. Fishermen arc at special risk
from hurricanes as they may be at sea when a hurricane arrives and not be able to get to a safe harbour if
they do not receive adequate warning.
4 If a hurricane is coming in your area,the most important thing is to stay calm and find shelter im-
mediately.Go to your safe room.If you do not have 0110,stay indoors during the hurricane and go to safer
place near the center of your home.Cover yourself with a blanket and be sure to keep away from windows
and glass doors,because if the glass breaks,it's really dangerous.Do not be fooled if there is a lull（暂
停）;it could he the eve of the storm一winds will pick up again.
