• In some places, hurricanes are called cyclones, which is Greek for "wheel" or "coils." • When hurricanes strike places like New England, thousands of elms, birches, spruces, and hemlocks fall, but oaks, hickories, and walnuts do not. That’s because they have taproots that sink like a shaft straight into the earth, whereas other trees have shallow root systems that spread out flat. • In 1954 Hurricane Edna became twins when it reached the New England coast: it split apart and became two storms with two eyes.

HURRICANE FACTS • On September 3, 1821, a hurricane hit New York City and moved north up into New England. A man named William Redfield rode on horseback through the area shortly after the storm passed and noticed as he moved through the area that in the southernmost areas hit by the storm, the trees had all fallen down in the exact opposite direction as the trees that had toppled in the northernmost area damaged by the storm. Upon returning home, Redfield collected information about the storm from newspapers, letters, and ships' logs and afterwards was the first human to come to a great conclusion concerning the nature of hurricanes: "This storm was exhibited in the form of a great whirlwind."

• In 1963 the weathermen in Taiwan predicted than oncoming hurricane Gloria would bypass the island. However, the storm struck the island head-on the following day, killing some 250 people and causing over $17 million in damage. The weathermen were arrested and charged with criminally negligent forecasting, a crime which carried a penalty of up to ten years in prison. The weathermen brought in experts who testified to the unpredictability of hurricanes. The judge decided that the prosecution had failed to prove criminal intent. The weathermen were freed.
