August 26, 2011: Timelapse of the formation of hurricane Irene.
I watched the August 26th post which contained a video of the formation of hurricane Irene. From the video, I learned how hurricanes form and the way in which they travel. I also learned why they travel in certain directions. The video showed how the hurricane clearly expands in size as it reaches areas with a warmer climate and warmer waters. The video also shows how hurricane Irene's beginning was simply a slight differential pressure system.
