National Geographic Hurricanes 101
Surviving Hurricane Carla
"I was 10 years old in September of 1961 when a storm began to form out in the Gulf of Mexico".
Hurricanes
Hurricane is a powerful, swirling storm that begins over a warm sea. Hurricanes then move westward and often toward the poles. When a hurricane hits land, it can cause great damage through fierce winds, torrential rain, flooding, and huge waves crashing ashore.
