The only difference between typhoons, hurricanes, and tropical cyclones is where they occur. Readers will encounter many facts about hurricanes through accessible, and age-appropriate content. They will also learn about some of the most destructive hurricanes in history, such as Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Ike, and the Galveston Hurricane of 19. Hurricane Katrina has both a chapter and a two-page spread with statistics devoted to it.
