Staying Safe in a Hurricane or Windstorm

A hurricane is a very powerful, rotating tropical storm that produces fierce winds, torrential rains and towering waves. Hurricanes develop over large bodies of warm water – including parts of the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea – and move generally northward. Although the southern and eastern coastal regions of the U.S. are most vulnerable to the most devastating effects of hurricanes, inland regions can be impacted by the storm’s remnant rains and winds.
