The most common way to reenact a hurricane is using a "tornado tube." The "tornado tube" is a device that connects two (1- or 2-liter) bottles of soda. Before connecting the two bottles together, fill one bottle halfway with water. Then, using the "tornado tube," connect both bottles, and flip the bottles so that the bottle filled with liquid is upward. Swirl the bottle, creating a vortex as the water flows downward.
Create a miniature village inside a shoebox. Use paper to create small houses and branches with leaves to represent trees. Add sand to create a slope for a beach, then fill with a cup of water. After the village is constructed, use the fan to blow wind into the shoebox, while squirting with a water bottle to represent the rain.
Gather three shoe boxes, and place a brick in the center of each one. Using cardboard, cut out two evenly sized rectangles to slant together, representing rooftops. Each house is assigned a rooftop of a different height. One steep, one normal and one shallow. Balance them together, but do not paste them down. Then, with a fan, blow wind in the direction of the houses from the side to see which roof flies off first.
Fill a cup with water. Take a straw, and poke a large hole in the middle of it. Stick the straw into the water, and blow hard through the straw. The air exiting from the side of the straw will create a swirl. The swirling water represents what takes place when the wind flows from the surface to the upper atmosphere during an actual hurricane.
