Hurricanes are Earth’s most powerful storms, capable of flattening buildings, flooding cities, and reshaping coastlines. This engaging hi‑lo book explains how hurricanes form over warm oceans, how they grow into monster storms, and why they cause such extreme damage. Readers learn about storm surges, the Saffir‑Simpson scale, hurricane hunters, and the tools scientists use to track and predict storms. The book also explores how climate change may affect future hurricanes and how people can prepare for hurricane season. Clear text, dramatic visuals, and critical‑thinking questions make complex science accessible for developing teen readers.
