A Hurricane is a storm system which is created when there is low pressure and numerous thunderstorms. They produce high winds and heavy rains which can cause floods.
They are fueled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easters, European windstorms, and [polar] lows, leading to their classification as "warm core" storm systems.
Sometimes, very rarely, Hurricanes form in the south Atlantic.
One of the most known Hurricanes which happened is called Hurricane Katrina which formed in the Atlantic and hit North America.
