Hurricanes are classified into five categories, not by
how destructive they are but by how fast their wind
speeds are.

Hurricanes are known to be very destructive do to
their very high wind speeds and currents.

Near the Atlantic Ocean, Hurricane season goes from
early June to mid May. Some hurricanes, though, occur
during later dates, much like Hurricane Sandy.

40% of all United States hurricanes occur in the one
state of Florida.

All hurricanes get their own name, and if the
hurricane is destructive enough, its name gets retired
to mark and remember the damage that the hurricane
had. Example: Hurricane Sandy, or Hurricane Irene


Category One -- Winds 74-95 miles per hour
Category Two -- Winds 96-110 miles per hour
Category Three -- Winds 111-130 miles per
hour
Category Four -- Winds 131-155 miles per
hour
Category Five -- Winds greater than 155 miles
per hour
Classification
Earthquakes are a powerful shift of the Earths crust. So
strong, that it has the ability to split countless amounts of
land, just like in this picture.

Earthquakes magnitude is determined by the Richter Scale.
This scale tracks seismic waves and gives them a number
from 0-9 in order to let everybody know how destructive the
Earthquake might be.

Most earthquakes worldwide range between 2-5 on the
Richter Scale, so most Earthquakes are not overwhelmingly
deadly.

The most recent large Earthquake took place in the Tahoka
region of Japan, and was a 9.0 on the Richter Scale. This
Earthquake has been said to have taken the lives of over
15,000 people during its occurrence.

Seismic waves over the past couple of years are said to be
more active than ever. Therefore if there is a warning on the
television be sure to try and find the most stable area of
your house to assure safety.
Richter Scale
The tsunami is a great wave that is caused by
underwater eruptions or shifts of the surface.
These waves can reach 100+ feet.

A tsunami can come in a series of big waves,
not always all alone. The first wave in the
series is generally not the strongest wave.

Tsunami can be quite destructive, due to the
fact that the speed at which they move at can
go up to 500mph.

About 80% of all tsunamis take place in the
Pacific Ocean.

Tsunamis contain so much energy and force
that scientists said that a few tsunamis that
take place in the Indian Ocean have the energy
of 30+ atomic bombs.


This below is a drawing of
the biggest tsunami ever
recorded coming in at a
whopping 1724 ft.
The tornado is ranked on a scale called the
Fujita Scale that ranges from F0 to F6. The
scale goes from non-destructive at F0, to a
tornado that demolishes an entire city at F6,
as shown on the chart.

A tornado is not a disaster that stays around
for a while, considering it only stays in one
area for up to a few minutes before it moves
on.

Out of the entire world, the United States is
the place where the most devastating
tornados take place.

What is interesting about tornados is that
every tornado has its own sound, shape, and
size.

The all-time deadliest tornado occurred all
the way back in 1925, swept through three
states and killed at least 600 people and
injured 2,000+. This ranked an F5 on the
Fujita Scale.

Fujita Scale
A Blizzard is a severe snow storm that has the ability to
accumulate more than 25-30 inches of snow during one
occurrence.

Like any snow, Blizzards only appear during drastically
cold temperatures (10F or lower), therefore they are not
an everyday occurrence.

New York is said to be one of the most common places
in the US for a blizzard to occur, considering it receives
up to 100 inches of Blizzard snowfall each year.

Blizzards are known to take out the power of many
houses in the area that they affect most. So if you know
that a blizzard is to come, stock up before it is too late.

One of the most recent deadly blizzards took place in
March, 1993, and was iconic for its hurricane-like wind
force and massive size. The blizzard caused around 300
deaths and 10 million power outages in its entirety,
nationwide.
