"CAT V" Rick

Rick, LOL!

Bit early in the season for the CAT V discussion, no?

James, nice research. Here's how a hypercane is described: A hypercane is a hypothetical class of hurricane that would be formed by an asteroid impact. They are also a possible consequence of global warming.

"It would be a phenomenal storm: 20 miles high, with winds approaching 500 miles an hour.

Jupiter's Great Red Spot is labeled as a hypercane."

I'm not buying the global warming for a minute. An asteroid, maybe. But global warming? Causing a 500 MPH hurricane. Puh-lease.
