<h3>What exactly are hurricanes?</h3><p>Hurricanes are made up of masses of warm, humid tropical air with high winds exceeding 118 km/h and torrential rains. When a hurricane reaches land, it pushes a wall of ocean water ashore, which is called a storm surge, <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/k-4/stories/nasa-knows/what-are-hurricanes-k4.html">according to NASA</a>. Heavy rain and storm surge from a hurricane can cause flooding.</p>		<p>

				Katrina, Sandy, and now Harvey: Here’s how hurricanes get their names			</a>
		</strong>
		</p>
	<p>The storms have a life span of one to 30 days and occur most often during August and September though the season runs from June to November, according to the <a href="https://www.iclr.org/images/Canadians_at_Risk_2010.pdf">Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction</a>.</p><p>Sometimes these powerful storms — or their remnants — remain strong enough as they track up the Atlantic coast from the Caribbean to reach parts of eastern Canada.</p><h3>Canadian regions more affected?</h3><p>Atlantic Canada is most at risk for hurricanes and tropical storms, according to Global News&#8217; chief meteorologist, <a href="https://globalnews.ca/author/anthony-farnell/">Anthony Farnell</a>.</p><p>&#8220;Especially Nova Scotia,&#8221; he said. &#8220;On average they get one hurricane every three years in Atlantic Canada.&#8221;</p><p><strong>WATCH: Rising global temperatures could increase intensity of Atlantic Canada hurricanes</strong></p>			<a class="story-img-link" data-displayinline-type="video" data-displayinline-stickyiframe="video_3479307" data-displayinline-ratio="16:9" data-displayinline="https://globalnews.ca/video/embed/3479307/#autoplay&#038;stickyiframe=video_3479307">

		<p>However, areas of central Canada, like Ontario and Quebec, can be affected by gusty winds and torrential rain when hurricanes move across the U.S., Farnell said. But many of these storms typically lose strength as they move over land.</p><p>For example, in 2011 the post-tropical storm Irene, had a significant and deadly impact on Quebec. The storm brought a massive rain shield which extended from Kingston, Ont., to Halifax, N.S., and from New Jersey to Newfoundland and Labrador.</p><p>At its worst, Irene’s winds topped 113 km/h east of Quebec City and rainfall amounts approached 170 millimetres in just a few hours. It caused basements to flood, roads to collapse and triggered landslides — <a href="https://www.ec.gc.ca/ouragans-hurricanes/default.asp?lang=En&amp;n=3F0FD4CF-1#wsB1C753D0">even killing a Montreal motorist</a>.</p><p>British Columbia has very rare encounters with Pacific hurricanes.</p><h3>How big are hurricanes in Canada?</h3><p>According to Environment Canada, a hurricane stronger than Category 3 (<a href="https://globalnews.ca/tag/hurricane-katrina/">Hurricane Katrina</a> was a Category 5) is virtually impossible in Canada because the country&#8217;s water temperatures – even when they are warm – are simply too cold to support such a storm.</p>		<p>

				Canada&#8217;s most destructive hurricanes			</a>
		</strong>
		</p>
	<p>A Category 3 (or higher) hurricane would have to be moving rapidly towards Atlantic Canada, with warmer-than-usual coastal waters and the right atmospheric conditions to be present for the storm to keep its strength.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;When storms reach Atlantic Canada, they are weakening because of water around is just too cold to maintain it,&#8221; Farnell said.</p></blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s also quickly moving because of the jet stream, meaning hurricanes are unlikely to sit around for five days like they are doing with Harvey.&#8221;</p><h3>Past Canadian hurricanes</h3><p><strong>2010: Hurricane Igor</strong></p><p>Hurricane Igor was one of the biggest storms to hit Newfoundland. It wreaked havoc on the area when it struck Sept. 21, 2010. The Category 1 storm caused $200 million in damage and led to one death. Environment Canada called the storm the province’s “worst by far.”</p>		<p>

A month before the Trump administration sparked outrage by reversing a ban on body parts from threatened African elephants, federal officials quietly loosened restrictions on the importation of heads and hides of lions shot for sport. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began issuing permits on October 20 for lions killed in Zimbabwe and Zambia between 2016 and 2018. Previously, only wild lions killed in South Africa were eligible to be imported.
