Two of the most dangerous storms which affect america are hurricances and tornadoes. they are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction.

Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost . Most people who live near the coast are forced to evacuate their home and to move to safer areas until the storm passes . Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tidy that is considerably above normal water level. the high winds , coastal flooding and heavy rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage.

Hurricances usually develop between july and october . one they hit land they carry tremendous power with driving rain and wind.

Tornadoes are violent low - pressured storms . these storms occur most often during the summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain . the sky turns black as dust is sucked up into the air . tornadoes are capale of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground . they can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplipt heveavier objects such as homes and railway cars.

Both hurricances and tornadoes cause millions of dolars worth of damage to life and  property every year . today they can be predicted more easily than in the past , but they can not be stopped or ignored.
