I have a question concerning something that has had me confused for quite a while now.
I watched Katrina intensify, I watched Rita intensify, and to all intents and purposes they
hit 175mph then stopped. The same has happened to Wilma, so my question is, why? Can't hurricanes go any faster than this? What's to stop them reaching 200mph+?
In theory, they could; but there is a limit as to the amount of available energy based on the heat. If more heat was available, the storm couldd increase higher.
