Most Powerful Possible hurricane?
Fri Oct 21 2005 08:28 PM

Hi everyone, I have a question, which is probably really simple to most, but its something i have been wondering for a few days. I know on the SS scale that a cat 5 hurricane is the most powerful. And from what i have learnt from this site, just under 200mph winds are the most powerful recorded. However, is it possible that a hurricane could form with 250 mph winds etc....or is there a natural limit to the size/power a hurricane can get? Is the limit, perhaps the temperature of the sea where the hurricane forms/travels? If global warming means the gulf of mexico waters get warmer, will this create more powerful hurricanes, or just more of them?

Well thanks for your time, and i hope you can answer my questions!
