Blank The writer published “Face to Face with Hurricane Camille” in the Reader’s Digest in March 1970. 2. Hurricane Hurricane is a term for a tropical storm in which winds attain speeds greater than 75 miles (121 kilometers) per hour. The term is often restricted to those storms occurring over the North Atlantic Ocean. Incipient hurricanes usually form over the tropical North Atlantic Ocean and mature as they drift westward. Hurricanes also occasionally form off the west coast of Mexico and move northeastward from that area. An average of 3.5 tropical storms per year eventually mature into hurricanes along the east coast of North America, usually over the Caribbean Sea or Gulf of Mexico. Similar storms occurring over the West Pacific Ocean and China Seas are called typhoons and those over the Indian Ocean are called tropical cyclones. Hurricanes are given girls' names and typhoons are given serial numbers. The National Weather Service of the United States has used girls' names to identify hurricanes in the Atlantic

Caribbean,and Gulf of Mexico since1953 and the names were given in alphabeticalorder.Asemi-permanentlistof 10 setsof names inalphabeticorder was established in1971. This practice of giving girls' names to hurricanes changed recently. In 1980 ahurricane was given a man's name and was called Hurricane David. Hurricane seasonbegins June 1 and ends November 30.In fact, there are many words for a violent tropical storm. When it occurs over theNorthAtlantic Ocean,theCaribbean Sea andGulf of Mexico,it iscalled ahurricane.However, when it occurs over the West Pacific Ocean and China Seas, it is called atyphoon; and when it occurs over the Indian Ocean, it is called a tropical cyclone. In theUnited States hurricanes are named alphabetically and given the names of people likeHurricane Alice, Hurricane Betsy, Hurricane Camille, and so on; whereas in Chinatyphoons are given serial numbers like Typhoon No. 1, Typhoon No. 2 and so on.3.HurricaneBetsyHurricane Betsy was a huge storm.
