    This might sound like I'm a know it al but, C reason being is I live in Florida.

    Every time before a hurricane we always have warm water. Also, thunderstorms form under warm weather and cold weather mixed together creating a low pressure in that area. However, because thunderstorms don't have warm ocean water evaporating into the clouds it doesn't become a hurricane. Add a thunderstorm and warm ocean water you get a hurricane. At least that's what my teacher told me.
