Tropical Storms

When groups of thunderstorms come together in the right atmosphere conditions for a long enough time then they can organize into a tropical storm. These storms start to form in the Caribbeans usually hitting areas such as Florida and Texas in the southern region of the United States.

For a tropical storm to form the water must be over 28C or 80F, Moist air has to rise more quickly than it can be replaced from below, which creates an area of low pressure.

Tropical Storms are a less powerful Hurricane with winds up to 73 mph. these storms although seem very powerful usually just cause flooding and sometimes damage to mobile homes and signs. Some other effects they have are just increase in gas prices, crops may be become damaged for example in Florida the oranges become more scarce and fast food places such as Wendy's may not be able to put tomatoes on sandwiches as they usually would.

Warnings are issued to allow residents that will be effected by the storm to prepare for the storm or to leave the state and go somewhere safe. The news stations and radio stations allow us to know when tropical storm will hit soon as they see them begin to form. Once they get closer they can even predict what time they will hit based on the speed the storm is traveling at.

The "Doppler radar allows us to tell the rate at which the storm is traveling and precisely where it's at. " Weather people may also use helicopters to get a good look at the storm.
