How do hurricanes impact people living in the caribbean

Like any hurricane, it causes many deaths and sadness so no matter where it is, it hurts people physically and emotionally

When local residents of an area refer to a hurricane, they are

speaking of the violent, stormy weather system that brings torrential

rains and destructive, high velocity winds of over 74 miles per hour.

Hurricanes are also characterised by a heavy cloud cover, which

reduces sunshine and makes visibility and temperatures very low. In

other parts of the world, tropical cyclones are given other names. For

example, in Australia they are known as Willy Willies, in India there

are known as Tropical Cyclones and in the Pacific they are known as

Typhoons.

Hurricanes can only form in tropical regions due to their need for

certain atmospheric and weather conditions only found there. Most

hurricanes originate on the west coast of Africa, in the form of

thunderstorms. As these thunderstorms move westwards over the ocean,

they become low-pressure systems; first in the form of tropical

depressions, then tropical storm and then finally hurricanes.
