Irene

Irene is a hurricane, a powerful storm with a rotating system of strong winds and heavy rain. If it impacts land, Irene can cause flooding, property damage, and disrupt daily life. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters, gaining strength as they spin outward in a circular pattern. Irene's size, wind speed, and trajectory determine its potential impact. Emergency preparations and timely alerts are essential to minimize risks associated with such storms.
