Typhoon? Cyclone?<b>Hurricane - Typhoon - Cyclone</b>. Three terms to describe basically the same event - rapidly rotating column, spinning around a low pressure system. There are strong winds, thunderstorms, and huge waves called storm surges. However, the location of the storm determines its classification.<br />
<br />
<b>Hurricane</b> - Storms that occur in the Atlantic Ocean, usually forming from the tropical waters near the western coast of Africa. The most recent was Hurricane Arthur. To track Atlantic Hurricanes, visit the <a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/" target="_blank">National Hurricane Center</a>.<br />

It was downgraded from a Category 2 storm (reaching 100 mph), as it made landfall on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. As it coasted along, it continued to weaken into a post-tropical storm, knocking on Canada's door.D Cheek-Spitlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13870046867507491567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336699844753737062.post-11721320782110876692014-07-03T06:18:00.000-07:002014-07-03T06:20:46.914-07:00Watch vs. Warning<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What is the difference between a severe weather watch and a warning?</span><br />

Hurricane Season is here (began June 1st)!!!! The first tropical storm of the year, Arthur, is making its way up the eastern coast. Forecasts indicate that the storm will be off the coast of Georgia early Thursday morning. Meteorologists also expect Arthur to become the first hurricane of the 2014 season off the coast of the Carolinas sometime Friday.<br />
