Hurricane Hits the Coast

By Louise Spilsbury

Book Overview

The Atlantic coast of the United States faces high winds, torrential rain, and more during hurricane season from about August to October. When these huge storms hit land, the streets may flood and buildings can be completely leveled. Seeing devastation like that on the news can leave readers with a lot of questions. This book introduces readers to how hurricanes form, why they can be so strong, and what communities do to prepare for them. Stories of recent hurricanes make these huge storms seem more real to readers and help them understand the consequences of natural disasters.
