True or false? Hurricanes can cause water to recede and temporarily leave beaches bare.

True

True or False. Hurricanes can spawn tornadoes.

Tropical storms like hurricanes can sometimes spawn tornadoes within the storm system. This usually happens either near the eyewall, where intense thunderstorms develop, or well away from the storm’s center. It is the thunderstorms that accompany these storms that create the right conditions for a tornado.
