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 homes and to move to safer areas until the storm
passes. Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is
considerably above normal water level. The high winds, coastal flooding and heavy rains
associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage.
Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit land they carry
tremendous power with driving rain and wind.
Tornadoes are violent low-pressured storm. 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 capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the
ground. They can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects
such as homes and railway cars.
Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and
property every year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past but they cannot
be stopped or ignored.

drop below freezing for most of this month. The city usually averages about 30 inches of snow
during this 3-month period. Occasionally, we have snow storms that can drop a foot of snow in
a very short period of time. Spring usually arrives in late March, it’s a beautiful season because
the flowers start to bloom. It is sometimes windy, and this is great for flying kites. People in
my city often like to go on picnics, stroll though parks, and play outdoor games. Summer starts
in June and it’s very dry with little rain throughout the season. Fortunately, the weather is very
dry with low humidity, so it is real pleasant even on hot days. And finally, summer changes to
fall in late September when the weather cools off, and the trees begin to change colors. A lot of
people enjoy driving into the mountains and viewing the fall colors.
