A hurricane is a storm which can cause terrible destruction and death. Hurricanes bring tremendously strong winds， so strong they can knock down buildings. The wind travels as fast as a speeding automobile and often it is accompanied by heavy rain. Weather scientists keep track of hurricanes. They find hurricanes by using cameras in satellites， and they try to discover where the hurricanes are heading. When people are informed that a hurricane is heading their way， they move to a safer place. This new science has saved many lives.
