Hurricanes: T not needed

I am happy to live in Arkansas because we are not affected by hurricanes, although we get rain because of them we do not get the winds and same amount of rain. I've never been or lived in a state where hurricanes could affect me bad but I feel it for the humans and animals that do live on the coast that do get affected by them. After reading that article I learned a lot I did not know about hurricanes.

I did not know that hurricanes could drop almost 2.4 trillion gallons of water nor did I know that the wind gust could get up to over 160 mph. I found that out in the first paragraph of the article that states, "that can pack wind speeds of over 160 miles (257 kilometers) an hour and unleash more than 2.4 trillion gallons (9 trillion liters) of rain a day. " 

Hurricanes can form in the Atlantic Ocean, but also can form on the west coast as well but they are called typhoons in the west coast, and they are called cyclones when they are formed in the northern Indian Ocean and on the Bay of Bengal. I read about that in the second and third paragraph of the article where it states "These storms are called hurricanes when they develop over the Atlantic or eastern Pacific Oceans. They are cyclones when they form over the Bay of Bengal and the northern Indian Ocean, and they are typhoons when they develop in the western Pacific."
I also know now that In 2022 the first hurricane of the year will be named after my self, "Alex".

In conclusion to this message, the article about hurricanes informed me so much more about them than I had ever known. I did not know the different names of them because of where they can be formed and what the history of them was about. After reading the article though I learned a lot about hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons and tropical storms.
