    The category 1 hurricane had faster winds after the category 4 hurricane
    cooled down. Ad when the pressure deacresed the wind speed
    increased.

    The air pressure was stronger in the beginning and then gradually
    decreased

    The hurricane made landfall right on the edge of louisiana and Texas.

    The equator has particularly warm waters so that causes more storms to
    form.

    Convection currents

    Not taking in enough water to sustain its form.

    I think that Hurricane Laura will continue to fizzle out over Arkansas
    and Mississippi.

    Hurricanes turn the way the do because of something called the coriolis
    effect

    Hurricane Noah or hurricane Nevaeh.
