Transcription: Hurricanes. Hurricanes are very powerful storms that happen in warm areas of the world. They start near the equator when warm, wet air over the sea rises and forms giant columns of cloud full of water vapour. Cold air rushes in below the rising warm air and begins to spiral around at up to 300 kilometres per hour. When a hurricane reaches land it can cause enormous destruction. function.
