Hurricanes
Have you ever been to a hurricane? Hurricanes are serious weather storms. They can do a
lot of damage. But what is a hurricane? Another name for a hurricane is a tropical cyclone. A
hurricane consists of thunderstorms, torrential rains, and waves with winds up to 75 mph or
higher. A hurricane is a tropical storm that starts out in the ocean and gathers speed and
strength as it travels.
When the winds inside these storms reach 39 mph, they are given names. An international
committee developed the list of names. Hurricanes alternate back and forth between male and
female names. Giving the hurricanes names makes it easier for meteorologists to identify and
track certain storms. This makes it easier to announce hurricane warnings, as well.
The best place to be during a hurricane is indoors and away from windows and doors. If
the hurricane is very bad, you will probably be asked to evacuate and move to safer ground. It
is important to keep a bag ready that contains fresh water, long-lasting food, first aid kit,
flashlight, rain gear, and other items that would be useful if you had to leave your home for a
few days.

 Card 1 Romanian Avalanche
In 2003, a British politics student named Ken Jones took a holiday from his studies and
traveled to Romania, where he wanted to scale Moldoveanu Peak. He almost made it to the
summit when the earth shook and a pair of avalanches dumped tons of snow on top of him,
trapping him helpless on the mountain. He managed to walk ten miles through the freezing cold
over the next three days to a remote Transylvanian village, where a local doctor saved his leg
and his life.

Card 2 Indonesian Tsunami

The massive tsunami that was in Indonesia on the day after Christmas in 2004 still stands
as one of the most devastating natural disasters in recorded history. In all of the chaos as waves
up to 100 feet high covered the Indian Ocean coastline, some interesting stories came to light.
One story was about a small boy named Martunis, who was washed away while playing soccer
in Indonesia and spent the next 18 days floating in the ocean. He was finally rescued and taken
to a hospital.

Card 3 Frankenstein
Radical scientist Victor Frankenstein and his equally brilliant protegee Igor Strausman
share a noble vision of aiding humanity through their groundbreaking research into immortality.
But Victor's experiments go too far, and his obsession has horrifying consequences. Only Igor
can bring his friend back from the brink of madness and save him from his monstrous creation.

Card 4 Lion King

A young lion prince is born in Africa, thus making his uncle Scar the second in line to the
throne. Scar plots with the hyenas to kill King Mufasa and Prince Simba, thus making himself
King. The King is killed and Simba is led to believe by Scar that it was his fault, and so flees
the kingdom in shame. After years of exile he is persuaded to return home to overthrow the
usurper and claim the kingdom as his own thus completing the "Circle of Life".
