A hurricane is a powerful storm which rotates around its centre. The central part of a hurricane is called the eye. The eye is usually 10 to 40 miles \(ca\. 64 km\) in diameter and is free of rain and large clouds. The band of tall, dark clouds surrounding the eye is called the eyewall. The rotating wind of the hurricane is incredibly strong and reaches the speed of 119 km per hour. It has a counterclockwise direction. A hurricane also contains rain, thunder, and lightning. Hurricanes are formed over the warm oceans near the equator. These hurricanes are called tropical cyclones. If a hurricane is formed in the western Pacific Ocean, it is called a typhoon. Hurricanes move from the ocean to the coast and cause massive waves, which together with violent wind can bring about extensive destruction. But hardly it reaches the land, it weakens, as it is warm water that fuels a hurricane. For the same reason, hurricanes are never born in the cold oceans. Since 1950, all storms have been given names. The first human name was given to the Hurricane Alice in 1953. Usually, the storms were given female names, the first male name was Bob \(1979\).
