How to prepare for a hurricane and other key things you should know







Hurricane Michael is moving rapidly toward central Florida and parts of the Gulf Coast, with winds of 145 mph. It swells and storm generated by Michael could bring conditions that threaten the life of the areas in his path and the residents have been told to evacuate.

The Category 4 hurricane has an intensity that the Florida beggar had never seen before.



These are some of your questions about hurricanes, answered by ABC News meteorologists Max Golembo, Samantha Wnek and Melissa Griffin.





How do hurricanes form?



Hurricanes form by feeding on the heat and moisture of the ocean. The air then rises and is constantly replaced by the surrounding air. Under all this rising air, a low pressure develops.

How long does a hurricane last?



If you are in the hurricane, the conditions could last from 12 to 18 hours. In a slow-moving hurricane, up to 24 hours.



The hurricane itself, from training to deterioration, can last for weeks in the ocean.





How long do hurricanes take to form?



Hurricanes can take up to a week to form and some tropical cyclones never reach hurricane status.



One of the fastest that was formed was Humberto in 2007, which developed in less than 19 hours from a tropical depression to a hurricane.





How do you know when a hurricane is coming?



If you trust the weather to know when a hurricane is approaching, you will often not get any indication. The day before a hurricane could have sunny skies with calm winds.



That is why you should listen to the meteorological radio of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or pay attention to the warnings of the authorities.

How many hurricanes will there be in 2018?



According to an August update from NOAA's National Hurricane Center, four to seven hurricanes are expected this season, which began on June 1 and ends on November 30. On average, six hurricanes form in the Atlantic each year.



That said, Michael officially became the seventh hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season.



The previous six were Alberto, who was formed before the official start of the season, then Beryl and Chris. Florence was the fourth named hurricane and the first major hurricane of the year, followed by Joyce and Leslie.



Michael is now the second major hurricane of the season.



What is a storm surge and why is it so dangerous?

As the pressure drops in the center of the hurricane, water levels increase. Water accumulates while the storm is still over the open ocean.



When the hurricane approaches the mainland, its strong winds push that water towards the coast and towards the earth, creating walls of water sometimes as high as 20 feet.



The danger to the people inside the houses on the coast is the vicious deluge of water that can flood houses and climb walls quickly. When Hurricane Sandy hit New York and New Jersey in 2012, many houses quickly filled with water.



The risks can be even greater if storm It combines with high tide, creating a devastating and rapid increase in water levels.
