The 5 Categories of Hurricanes Explained

Описание: Hurricanes are ranked from Category 1 to Category 5 based on how strong their winds are and how much destruction they can cause. A Category 1 hurricane can still knock out power and damage trees and roofs, while Category 2 storms bring stronger winds and more serious structural damage.

Category 3 hurricanes are considered major storms, capable of causing devastating flooding and widespread destruction to homes and roads. By the time a hurricane reaches Category 4 or 5, entire neighborhoods can be destroyed by extreme winds and deadly storm surge, leaving behind catastrophic damage that can take years to recover from.

In this video, we break down all five hurricane categories and show just how dangerous these storms can become as they grow stronger.
