 You've probably heard that no two snowflakes are alike, but did you know hurricanes are just as unique? Hurricanes can be big or small, fast or slow. Their wind speeds and rainfall amounts can be extremely high or relatively low. Hurricanes can range in size, with wind speeds between 74 and 200 miles per hour. The typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inches of rainfall, but some produce much more. In 2017, Hurricane Harvey dumped 60 inches of rain on southeast Texas. Typically, a hurricane travels 15 to 20 miles per hour, but can travel at speeds up to 60 miles per hour. If it stalls in one area, it can bring torrential rains. Some hurricanes follow a fairly straight course, while others loop and wobble along the path. Whatever its shape, size or speed, hurricanes are a force of nature. Be sure to keep your eye on the weather and stay safe.
