Are you interested in learning the science behind Hurricane Season in layman's terms? Would you like to discover how to be better prepared for when/if a hurricane comes your way? Well join me as we look into the factors of hurricane formation as well as answer some of your frequently asked questions about hurricanes. Learn how to get prepared today so that hurricane season will not catch you and your loved ones by surprise this season.  We will build upon the dynamics and structure of what makes a hurricane so dangerous out in the open seas and upon landfall too!

Hurricanes are massive systems that use the latent heat energy of the ocean to cause strong winds and massive storm surges to pile upon coastlines. They can be predictable sometimes in terms of formation activity but unpredictable with respect to intensity and/or exact track at landfall. The National Hurricane Center and NOAA are the ultimate go-to resource for learning about and tracking hurricanes but there is some great resources for the layman weather watcher to track and understand hurricanes better even if you don't live in a hurricane prone zone of a country.

This course is designed to give you an introduction to the science of hurricanes.
