Before a Hurricane. To prepare for a hurricane, you should take the following measures: To begin preparing, you should build an emergency kit and make a family communications plan. Know your surroundings. Learn the elevation level of your property and whether the land is flood-prone.
The Eye of a Hurricane. A hurricane is a powerful storm, which originates above the warm waters near the equator and moves towards the poles. Hurricanes are known by different names like typhoons and cyclones, according to the area of their origin. These violent storms have a very calm center, which is called the eye of the hurricane. The eye of a hurricane is often circular in shape (when viewed from above) with a diameter of about 30 to 65 kilometers and runs through the center of the storm.
