(4) K-3 This book uses standard scientific terminology and vivid descriptions ("the winds are howling, the rain is pouring down...") to tell how and where hurricanes form. It details the five Saffir-Simpson Scale categories, touching on wind speed and type of damage. "Some Hurricanes Throughout History" (including Katrina) are briefly discussed. Gibbons's trademark drawings, with lots of added motion lines, illustrate the information. Websites.
