How do hurricanes form?

2009-01-22T23:34:00.000-08:00

Hurricanes are actually very amazing storms. The reason they are so amazing is because hurricanes form almost instantly! They come from tropical regions with a lot of moisture which gets caught up in the cloud circulation causing these huge hurricanes.

Many people ask the question of how do hurricanes form? And I understand why so many people are so curious about these storms. The reason so many people want to know why hurricanes form is because it effects thousands of people a day. Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst hurricanes yet and killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Hurricanes form because of the crazy amount of wind and water vapor that is absorbed into the atmosphere daily. It all gets pulled in the hurricane forming which causes this massive monster to eat places a whole. This is the cause of hurricanes.

I don' really understand why hurricanes can cause so much damage, maybe because of the insane amount of wind they hold. Hurricanes can have winds up to 200 miles per hour at times, which can rip whole buildings out of the ground. Many times, boats are carried hundreds of miles inland from strong hurricanes.

I've just answered the question of why hurricanes form and hope this helped you out. I've always had an interest in them and am glad to see you do too!

Here's a cool video I found explaining where most hurricanes form.

Bye!

Guitar Hero VS. Rock Band

2007-12-04T16:32:00.001-08:00

Looks like there's some competition in the air right now between the well known Guitar Hero and the new Rock Band. I've been hearing that Rock Band is going to blow Guitar Hero out of the water but you be the judge of that.

Rock Band has a guitar, bass, drums, and microphone which is a nice new addition people aren't used too. Here are some pictures of the things in Rock Band...

Looks like fun to me! It might be a nice Christmas/Hanukkah present for the Holidays! Rock Band is sold out at most places right now but not here so check it out!

LG Voyager

2007-12-04T16:09:00.000-08:00

It looks like apple has some competition. The LG Voyager does everything the iPhone does with the addition of a full keyboard. With a 2- year contract, you can cop this phone for $349.99. Might be a little pricey, but it seems worth it to me.

Whats better than having an iPod with verizon reception? Exactly.

New SB's

2007-12-04T15:45:00.000-08:00

Official release date hasent been released yet. Expect them sometime soon. Pretty fresh if you ask me.

I'm not into these as much, but im still lookin out for those who are.

I'll let you know when new music drops and when your favorite companies release new apparel. I'll also show you some sick youtube videos, and have an artist spotlight every once in a while. I'm here to keep you updated so just check in often for the latest.
