Hurricanes are powerful storms that move in a spiral motion around a centre known as the 'eye', which is around 35 km wide. Before a hurricane approaches, the sky darkens and the wind becomes stronger. As the hurricane reaches land, it brings with it heavy rains, strong winds and a storm. Hurricanes are classified into five categories based on their speed, with Category 1 being the mildest and Category 5 being the strongest. To protect yourself from a hurricane, there are several measures you can take. You can place storm shutters over any exposed glass windows, install hurricane straps on roofs, and adopt and enforce building regulations for wind and flood resistance. It's also important to plan before buying land and avoid building structures in dangerous areas. By following these steps, you can help keep yourself and your property safe during a hurricane.
