A hurricane is a revolving storm in tropical
regions, called typhoon in the North Pacific.
It originates at latitudes between 5° and 20°
North or South of the equator, when the
surface temperature of the ocean is above
27°C (80°F). A hurricane is accompanied by
lightning and torrential rain, and can cause
extensive damage.
