Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hurricane watch is an announcement made for specific coastal areas that a hurricane poses a possible threat within 36 to 48 hours. It advises people to prepare for the possibility of a hurricane by securing their homes and belongings and to stay up to date on the latest weather reports. A hurricane warning, on the other hand, is issued when a hurricane is expected to hit an area within 36 hours, and people should take immediate action to protect themselves and their property. The other options, tornado warning and tornado watch, are specific to tornadoes and not relevant to hurricanes.
