====Hi! My name is Katrina. I did my report on hurricanes. Hurricanes can be a major part of peoples lives. They can be how people make their living or how they use their life savings to fix their house from hurricane damage. Hurricanes can create a large amount of damage. In my report, the topics I wrote about are parts of a hurricane, the effects of a hurricane and what you can do to help prevent major effects of a hurricane. A hurricane is a really powerful storm that can have effects on your property. ====

** Random Information About Hurricanes: **
====Hurricanes form in the tropics over water that is at least 81 degrees. When the hurricane gains enough power, it will move towards land gaining more power. Once it is over land, it begins to lose its power. ==== ====The calmest part of the hurricane is the eye. This is where the wind slows and the skys are clearer. The worst part of a hurricane is the eye wall. Here the winds pick up and there is alot of rain. The winds can reach up to about 150mph. ==== ====To reduce the effects of hurricanes, you should put all of your moveable lawn decorations in the house or consider tying them down to something. You can also put boards up on your windows to protect them. ====
