I chose hurricane Katrina. It was a category 4 but it was a category 5 at one time before it hit. Katrina kept growing from a tropical depression way out in the atlantic ocean then it started to grow and when it passed into the Gulf of Mexico it grew to a category 5 but right when it was about to hit land it downsized to a category 4 then to a category 3. Katrina is responsible for about 1,200 deaths and about 75 billion dollers in damage.

1.The four types of air masses are; mT which stands for maritime tropical, mP which stands for maritime Polar, cP which stands for continental polar, cT which stands for continental tropical.
2.The maritime tropical is the most likely to bring hurricanes due to it is near the equator and has the warm waters and Gulf Stream to help it move along towards the United States.
3.The continental tropical is most likely to bring a drought because it is over land and its name cT means Dry and warm.
4.The maritime polar is most likely to bring the lake-effect snowstorms; first of all it means wet and cold and snow is made out of water.
5.Arctic and Highland; the arctic air masses is in northern Canada, it has the same characteristics of polar air except it is colder and has lower dew points. highland air masses occurs in regions with large elevation changes over a short distance, they can promote dryness in the interior of the highland climate.
