Two of the most dangerous storms which affect America are hurricanes and tornadoes. 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 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 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.
