Hurricane Dorian dropped 36 inches of rain (three feet!) in parts of the Bahamas. (In contrast, Portland received just 3 inches in the last week of storms). The scientific term for rainfall is:

Evaporation

Condensation

Precipitation

Hurricane Dorian had wind speeds up to 185 miles per hour. In a hurricane, the winds are all blowing towards a central point called an "eye" and spiraling around it. Based on this, the eye is probably:

A high pressure zone

A low pressure zone
