Read the text. Then choose the correct answer for each question below (19-22).

Thunderstorms are very common. Thunder and lightning happen at the same, but you see the lightning first because light travels faster than sound. Many people who live by oceans have seen hurricanes. Very strong winds, heavy rain and waves cause hurricanes. Hurricanes are given names like Andrew or Hugo. They can cause floods and a lot of damage. The most violent storms are tornadoes. They can carry things such as dirt, leaves and other objects up to the sky. The wind in a tornado spins at a speed of 640 kilometres per hour or more. Tornadoes cause a lot of damage to things in their way. Blizzards are dangerous snowstorms. They have heavy snow and strong winds. Sometimes when there is a blizzard, schools close and power goes out.
