Hurricanes and earthquakes are both very catastrophic natural disasters. Hurricanes are huge whirling storms which produce winds of 119 kilometers per hour (74 mph) or higher (Stillman). Hurricanes are very disastrous and can rip trees out of the ground and can move a building from one place to another.

Acknowledging yearly weather patterns in conjunction with risk assessments…
