Later, we read our book, we watched some videos and talked about the conditions required for tropical cyclones to form. For example: specific air temperature, water depth, wind conditions, water temperature and geographical location.

Also, we read information available on different websites regarding tropical cyclones and some of the most dangerous features of these natural hazards: storm surges.

What is Storm Surge?

WhWhen Weather Changed History - Galveston Hurricane

The first time we started discussing this new topic of tropical cyclones, we worked with a platform we all know: Despegar. We tried to identify during which months, in the Caribbean and in Central America, the number of cruise ships was bigger and smaller. Around September we realised there weren’t as many as in the previous and following months. Some lessons later we could name the reason why: hurricane season! www.despegar.com

This was one of our first approaches to tropical cyclones. In this documentary-like video we learned about the Galveston hurricane, which is said to be the greatest natural hazard ever documented in the United States. We first noticed that, for a hurricane to form, ocean water needed to be warm, as well as air temperature. Also, we noticed that, just before the hurricane hit Galveston, barometric pressure dropped and so did the temperature. Regarding ocean water, big waves and abnormal tide were characteristic of this episode.
