Hurricane Facts

  • Jim Cantore had his Ferrari totaled by hurricane Rita.
  • Once a cyclone reaches category 5 status, it begins to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the earth cannot dictate a hurricane's rotation once it becomes a category 5 storm.
  • A hurricane COULD be stopped, but we have not yet invented a laser this large.
  • An average category 2 hurricane kills 5 whales.
  • Hurricanes are an excellent source of rain for farmers near coastal areas.
  • The safest time to surf is 1-2 hours before a hurricane's eye makes landfall. This is due to the consistency of the waves.
  • Global warming does not cause hurricanes. HURRICANES CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING.
  • A hurricane with winds over 150 miles per hour is called a "monsoon." Monsoons are much more prevalent in the Indian Ocean.
  • The word hurricane comes for the Yoruba word Jharakun, which means "powerful waves."
  • Statistically, it is as difficult to predict a hurricane's path from its inception as it is to predict a tornado's path from its inception.
