         Nature is a very strong thing. It can build amazing views, but it can also bring us some disasters. Hurricanes areone kind of them. All hurricanes start as a little windy rain in the Atlantic Ocean. Then they get bigger and becomecyclones. When the winds get to 119 kilometers/hour, they become hurricanes.              Hurricanes have 5 categories, and category 5 is the most devastating. Hurricane Harvey was a category 4hurricane in 2017, and it made big trouble for the United States. People’s homes were under water, thousands of peoplelost power, and many died.
         Meteorologists study weather science. They watch the hurricanes closely and also get to name them. The firstlettter of each hurricane’s name follows the order of the English alphabet. In September, 2017, the hurricanes in theAtlantic Ocean were: Harvey, Irma, Jose and Katia. Once a name is used, that name won’t be used again for another sixyears. If the hurricane is truly terrible, that same name will never be used again.
