Sweeping across the Caribbean islands with devastating effect, wrecking havoc and causing death, leaving damaged homes and insurmountable catastrophe, many Hurricane survivors who have relocated, desperately want to return back to their homes to live a normal totally tropical way of life, but each year, around July to the end of October, that possibility is getting further away from becoming a peaceful reality.

Hurricanes have an ugly spiraling eye, behaving badly in the atmosphere with water and heat, the two main ingredients that we find driving the tropical surge of thunderstorms, as the wind circulate upwards ascending to higher altitude, using the source of energy from vapor water and heat to change wind speed and direction, the storms develop with rotating frequency and start to spin rapidly.

Hurricanes can travel at top speed of over 150 mph, and do a great deal of catastrophic damages, to give you some idea of how frightening a hurricane can be, facing a hurricane moving at full speed, the impact will literally ripped trees out of the ground and tear off roof tops from houses.

Hurricane is a combination of warm water and moist air drifting out over warm ocean waters that are at least 80 degrees, where they meet up with converging winds from the equator, the warm air is drawn into developing more heat, transferring from the surface of the ocean to the atmosphere, rotating around the area of low pressure with strong inward spiraling winds.

When the winds nearest the surface of the water collide, it pushes vapor upwards and increase in circulation, picking up the quickening speed of the wind to propel in greater force of acceleration, as the thunder storms aggression grow stronger, it moves from different stages of storms to hurricane with speeds
