Hurricanes are one of the strongest and devastating natural disasters. They are strong, powerful winds that claim the lives of millions of people all over the world and cause infinite damage to property. They originate in the ocean as a result of tropical disturbance and pass through two initial stages, namely tropical depression and tropical storm, before becoming lethal weapons of mass destruction. Hurricanes last for a week or so before dying down on their own. However there are certain factors which control the intensity of hurricanes.
