The category 1 hurricane is the first stage to a hurricane. But before it is a category 1 it is a tropical storm with wind from 39-73 mph. The storm surge is normally 4-5 feet above normal. Most of the damage from a category 1 hurricane goes to trees and shrubbery with no real building damage. It does not become a hurricane till the wind speed in the middle of the tropical storm reaches 74 mph. The average wind speed for a category 1 hurricane is 74-95 mph.]]> 2018-03-26 19:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/katiebrumley/nc6yczb4tyja/wish/246267837 katiebrumley https://padlet.com/katiebrumley/nc6yczb4tyja/wish/246268227 The wind speed for a category 2 hurricane is from 96-110 mph. The storm surge for this category is normally 6-8 feet above normal. Roofing material, door and window damage, trees ( some may blow down ), shrubbery, signs, mobile homes and poorly constructed piers with have damage done to it. Flooding will start in this stage of a hurricane. It will flood for 2-4 hours before the hurricanes center reaches land.]]> 2018-03-26 19:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/katiebrumley/nc6yczb4tyja/wish/246268227 katiebrumley https://padlet.com/katiebrumley/nc6yczb4tyja/wish/246268303 the category 3 hurricane is considered to be a major hurricane with wind speeds from 111-130 mph. It can have a storm surge from 9-12 feet above normal. Damage to small residences with minor amount of curtain wall failures. Plus all of the damages done as in category 1&2 hurricanes. The water and flooding will reach3-5 hours before the hurricanes center reaches land. For this category  of hurricane evacuation maybe needed for low lying areas.]]> 2018-03-26 19:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/katiebrumley/nc6yczb4tyja/wish/246268303 katiebrumley https://padlet.com/katiebrumley/nc6yczb4tyja/wish/246268481 With wind speeds up to 131-155 mph the storm surge runs 13-18 feet above normal. More extensive curtain wall failures with some complete roof structures on small residence. COMPLETE DESTRUCTION is done. Water will reach land 3-5 hours before the center of the hurricane reaches land. Major damage to lower floors of structures near the cost. Terrain lower than 10 feet above mean sea level maybe flooded inland as 6 miles.]]> 2018-03-26 19:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/katiebrumley/nc6yczb4tyja/wish/246268481 katiebrumley https://padlet.com/katiebrumley/nc6yczb4tyja/wish/246268578 This is the worst hurricane that can happen While causing the most damage.

Also with major damage to all lower floods of all structures located below 15 feet above sea level and within 500 yards of the shoreline. Mass evacuation to people living on low ground within 5-10 miles of the cost maybe needed. ]]> 2018-03-26 19:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/katiebrumley/nc6yczb4tyja/wish/246268578
