Hurricanes are those storms that have winds moving at ferocious speeds of more than 74 mph. the strength of the hurricanes are calculated according to the intensity of their currents depending over the hurricane dean satellite images that are generated by NASA. It is very easy and convenient for the scientists to draw conclusions and make weather forecasts with the aid of the view of ski and photo images and topographic imagery. at times, these weather forecasts also include the predictions about the plausible hurricanes.
On the basis of their speed and velocity, hurricanes have been classified into five broad categories:
1. Winds that measure between 74- 05 mph
The surges of the storms are generally 4 to 5 feet above normal tides. No real and devastating damages to buildings occur but they do cause some uprooting of the trees, shrubs and small huts and homes. Some of the coastal road floods and minor pier damages may also occur.
2. Winds that measure between 96- 110 mph
The surges of the storm are usually 6 to 8 feet above normal tides. the intense damage to the windows, doors and roof material of the buildings can happen. Considerable damage to the vegetation like trees, shrubs and bushes may also occur. Mobile homes, piers and coastal roads that are low lying face a lot of danger. In fact, the boats in these areas can also get devastated.
3. Winds that measure between 111- 130 mph
The surges of the storm are generally ranging between 9 to 12 feet above normal tides. according to the hurricane dean satellite images, there is immense damage caused to the birds, vegetation like the trees and shrubs, foliage is blown over the trees and many trees also get blown down by the speed of the hurricane. sites that are constructed poorly and many mobile homes and huts can also get demolished to nothingness. the roads that are low lying can get flooded even a couple of hours before the arrival of the hurricane. In such cases, these areas have to immediately evacuate or there will be immense loss of life and property.
4. winds that measure between 131-155 mph
The surges of the storm generally range between 13-18 feet above normal tides. the damages that it causes can cause absolute demolition of infrastructures. The vegetation can suffer complete uprooting with the canopies and the ariel parts of the trees blown over and roots exposed to the grounds. small homes and huts are completely devastated and the low lying areas are demolished ruthlessly. They are the first areas to be evacuated the first when the hurricane dean satellite images predict the arrival of the hurricane. In fact, the various resorts that are by the beaches can also be affected
5. winds that measure more than 155 mph
The surges of the storms are generally more than 18 feet over the normal tides. infrastructures, buildings, residential complexes, all witness a terrible and devastating fate. they are absolutely shattered and destroyed. In the areas that are in the vicinity of the shoreline massive disastrous effects can happen. So, the island area is also very susceptible to such fates. the effects can be very disturbing for the eye.
These days the facility of hurricane dean satellite images is available in every part of the globe whether it is any direction, north, south, east or west and continents like Europe. The scientists often stock these images in a cd for future reference.
