Hurricanes are great vortiees
composed of air swirling in a
counter - clockwise direction a-
round a low -pressure center
After hurricanes are spawned In
the tropical Atlantic, they general-
ly move westward igitll some-
where off' the southeast coast of
the United States they begin to
recurve toward the north and then
move northeastward.
Hurricanes form over all tropi-
cal oceans except the South At-
lantic.
Hurricane winds of more titan
150 miles an hour hove been ob-
served at the surface in mature
hurricanes. A gust of 1*6 miles .....

Another trick employed by the IS11'such as U. S. Coast

These gals are hurricanes —
given feminine code names by the
Weather Bureau. In August, Sep-
tember and October these destruc-
tive females make the greatest
number of appearances.
These feminine phenomena have
little resemblance to thetr weaker
sex namesakes. It has been esti-
mated that in one minute a hurri-
cane expends more energy than
the United Sta’cs produces in ele-
ctric power in 50 years.
Energy released by a typical
hurricane in one second is great-
er than that produced by several
atomic explosions.
Names selected tor use this year
in designating hurricanes are:
Anna, Betsy, Carla, Dora, Ethel,
Flossy, Greta, Hattie, Inez, Judith,
Kitty Laura, Molly, Nona, Odette,
Tania, Quenby, Khoda. Sadie, Te-
resa, Ursel, Vesta, Winny, Xina,
Yola and Zenda.
Anna already has appeared but
a little sickly. Winds never did
get up to 75 m.p h., the minimum
for hurricanes. This one blew it-
self out against the mountains
west of Tampico, Mexico, about a
week ago.
Rufely are there enough hurri-
canes over a single season to use
up more than half of the 26 names
in the alphabetical list. The re-
cord number in one season Ls 21
The Weather Bureau felt that
use of ghis’ names, in written as
well as spoken communications,
was shorter, quicker and less con-
fusing than the older cumbersome
latitude - longitude identification.
Same By Any Name
It felt also that the use of easily
remembered names reduces confu-
sion when two or more tropical
storms occur at (lie same time.
Hurricane is the term generally
used to describe a circular distur-
bance in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf
of Mexico or the Caribbean Sea.
It is also used for similar storms
in tlrot part of the Pacific Ocean
near Central America or Mexico.
Not till tropical disturbances reach
hurricane intensity.
The "typhoon" of the China Sea.
the “baguio” of the Philippines,
and the "cyclone" of the Bay of
Bengal and the Indian Ocean are
names used elsewhere for the
same type we generally call a
"hurricane.”
The average life of a hurricane
is about nine days. August hurri-
canes normally last the longest
W'ith an average life span ol a-
round 12 days July and Novem-
ber hurricanes Iasi about eight
days.

hurricane
The areu of destructive winds
in a hurricane varies considera-
bly. In a small hurricane t h e
width of this area may be as small
as 25 miles, but in some great
hurricanes, the width may extent
out to 500 miles.
Texas lias Record
Tile storm wave Associated with
hurricanes sometimes causes great
coastal inundations. High water
often is the cause of more loss of
life than high winds. Fast records
show that three-fourths of all loss
of life in hurricanes can be attri-
buted to storm waves. High water
16 to 16 feet above normal tides
has been reported during some of
the larger hurricanes along the
Gulf and Atlantic Coast of the
United States.
The record amount of rainfall
associated willi a hurricane in
the United States was at Taylor,
Texas, in September 1921 when
23.11 inches was recorded in « 24-
hour period.
The greatest amount of deaths
in a hurricane was September 8,
1900, when Galveston island was I
struck. An-estimated 6,000 to 8.000 j
persons lftst their lives. Property
damage was estimated between
$20,000,000 and $30,000,000.
Hurricane Diane in August 1955
holds the record for the most
damage with $755,000,000. The
floods resulting from this hurri-
cane made it the most destructive
storm on record. Loss of life was
184
Last year was the most destruc-
tive year for httrricans in the Uni-
ted States with damages from
both winds and floods totaling
