![]() 3 of these in 7 weeks. When these are sometimes once in a lifetime events. Amazing. The planets weather is changing. |

Lowest pressure recorded in the Atlantic Basin... the lowest pressure ever recorded for a storm was Typhoon Tip at 870mb.

![]() How does a low pressure count effect the storms behaviour, by the way? Does it make it stronger or more destructive, or is it just another figure? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

There is some correlation between central pressure and hurricane strength, although this doesn't always hold true. The lower the central pressure, the stronger the high-pressure winds around the eye wall rush in to equalize the pressure difference. The true source of all hurricane strength, though, is water temperature; the warmer the water the more heat and energy the hurricane absorbs.
Hurricanes generally release anywhere from 5 megatons to 20 megatons (or more) of energy each minute! [img]graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img] I was discussing elsewhere back during Katrina about some people who thought that detonating nuclear devices to diffuse a hurricane's strength. [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] We would have to fire all our nuclear weapons at only one hurricane and maybe--just maybe--we could do something to it. But probably not...except to heat up the water even more and create a category 6. [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] [ 10-19-2005, 07:05 PM: Message edited by: Azred ]

Maybe the planet has decided it's had enough of the human race and is taking steps to cure the disease as it were.
This seems to be a bad year for hurricanes. My cousin had to evacuate from her place in Florida again because of it. But hurricane season should be over pretty soon, right?
