Storms occur when there is a big difference between high-pressure and low-pressure areas of air. Due to this difference, the winds start blowing at high speed, and this takes the form of a storm. Usually, storms are accompanied by incidents like strong winds, heavy rain, hail, and lightning, which can be quite dangerous.

How is the intensity of storms measured?

Scientists use several scales to measure the strength of storms. The most common scale is the Saffer-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which divides storms into categories based on wind speed. On this scale, a Category 5 storm is the most dangerous, with wind speeds of more than 253 kilometres per hour. Such storms can cause massive destruction.

Damage caused by storms

Hurricanes cause a lot of destruction. Their strong winds can destroy houses, uproot trees, and sometimes cause floods. Many people are injured or die due to this. Hurricanes also destroy crops, which can lead to food crisis. Hurricanes cause beach erosion and soil wash away, which reduces the fertility of the land.

Impact on infrastructure and economy

Storms cause heavy damage to roads, bridges and other infrastructure. All this has a bad effect on the country's economy because repairs and reconstruction cost a lot. Recently, a big storm hit America, which caused huge destruction and also put the administration there in trouble.

Tips to avoid storms

It is not possible to completely avoid natural disasters like storms, but by taking some precautions we can reduce the damage. We should get timely weather information and go to safe places when the storm arrives. Apart from this, we should cooperate with the government and non-government organizations in rescue operations so that the damage is minimized.
