The hurricane children are characters from Talamancan mythology of the Bribri and Cabécar, indigenous peoples of the southern Caribbean part of Costa Rica. They are children of the family of thunder, Talá Yakela and his wife Ágata, the first family that Sibö, the major deity of the Bribri, formed to live on earth. They are playful children whose voices were heard like thunder. They ran in circular form from right to left at high speeds that unleashed winds, until completing their game. In Bribri mythology they are responsible for unleashing the storms, hurricanes and winds.
