Hypercane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hypercane is a hypothetical class of extreme tropical cyclone that could form if ocean temperatures reached around 50 °C (122 °F), which is 15 °C (27.0 °F) warmer than the warmest ocean temperature ever recorded.[1] Such an increase could be caused by a large asteroid or comet impact, a large volcanic, supervolcanic eruption, or very extensive global warming.[2] There is some speculation that a series of hypercanes resulting from an impact by a large asteroid or comet contributed to the demise of the dinosaurs.[3] The term was coined by atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel in 1994, at MIT
Physical description
Hypercanes would have wind speeds of over 800 km/h (500 mph) and would also have a central pressure of less than 70 kilopascals (21 inHg), giving them an enormous lifespan.[4] For comparison, the largest and most intense storm on record was 1979's Typhoon Tip, with a wind speed of over 300 kilometres per hour (190 mph) and central pressure of 87 kilopascals (26 inHg).
The extreme conditions needed to create a hypercane could conceivably produce a system up to the size of North America, creating storm surges of 18 m (59 ft) and an eye nearly 300 km (190 mi) across. The waters could remain hot enough for weeks, allowing more hypercanes to be formed. A hypercane's clouds would reach 30 km (19 mi) into the stratosphere. Such an intense storm would also damage the Earth's ozone.[4] Water molecules in the stratosphere would react with ozone to accelerate decay into O2 and reduce absorption of ultraviolet light.
Other scientists[who?] have theorized that the system, compared to a normal hurricane, would be considerably smaller,[citation needed] about 16 km (9.9 mi) in diameter, making it more comparable to a tornado; however the largest tornado on record was estimated to be about 4 km (2.5 mi) wide.[6]
Now, this was pretty much all I could find on the Internet. So I figured why not extrapolate on this a little bit. Synapse likes to talk about the weather sometimes because politics can get pretty darned old after awhile. (Yes, even a cranky old fart like me needs a change of pace.)
So what about it. First of all, its entirely possible that the Genesis Flood could be attributed to a series of hypercanes. After all, this motherfucker of a storm could contribute to human extinction, which the only ones left alive were Noah and his family. Punching a hole through the stratosphere isn't exactly a force you want to mess with. And 700 MPH winds makes a tornado look like a spring breeze. Perhaps the reason we haven't seen one of these babies for the rest of recorded history is because... God said He'd never do it again!!!
That's right... the only thing standing between us and one of these is God. Makes you think twice about wanting to piss him off doesnt it?
Aside from pissing in Yahweh's cereal consider the science of it a minute. A hypercane, big enough to cover the entire Western half of the United States, would have to have some SERIOUSLY hot ocean water to create and fuel it. One hundred and twenty degrees to be exact. That's about the same temperature that the shower gets when it scalds ya. (Synapse has a separate hot water tank from the neighbors but one common cold water supply... so when the neighbor flushes the john, it makes for some seriously uncomfortable times). One hundred twenty is HOT!!! The human body begins to register heat as pain at 108 to 110 dependent on your pain threshold...
What would heat the ocean to such intensity? Well, by all estimates, an asteroid, a comet, or a supervolcano or a large volcanic eruption... I would also say a nuclear bomb would do it except these are too piddly to heat any more of the ocean than within a 20 mile radius or so and you'd need to heat the ocean to 120 degrees for a diameter of maybe 500-700 miles. So thankfully, one single nuke would be insufficient at creating a hypercane. So that type of damage would be limited to an asteroidal impact.
Ever stick your feet in a bathtub full of water only to find it was way too hot and you couldn't stand it another minute...? You had to get out or else? The ocean would have to be that hot for a radius of 700 miles by my estimation... and for that would need a space rock at least the size of Manhattan to hit.
A hypercane would actually be Nature's attempt to deal with all of that oppressive heat. Enough of an updraft would be created to actually spray some sea water and storm debris into SPACE. Yes that is what I said. Although the majority of it would float around in the atmosphere. Hitting the stratosphere the water vapor would begin to crystallize and form frost, forming clouds that could block out the sun (the best example of a hypercane I could think of would be in Star Trek 4) and completely ruining all vegetation worldwide.
Spinning off of the hypercane birthing area (this massively overheated ocean) the hypercane would create an unimaginable deluge with unbelievable winds for a couple weeks before collapsing into a SUPERCANE (Think Hurricane Ike or Hurricane Katrina) and possibly be followed by another and another... hypercane that is... before the entire world was finally cool enough to completely kill off anything that didn't live in a cave beforehand.
Perhaps another reason we haven't seen one of these killer storms is because the ocean is still too cool from the LAST one!!! So thank the good Lord, in mankinds recorded history, the hypercane exists in theory and possibly the book of Genesis only...
Nature is self-correcting. And so far, appears to be self-limiting. That's why I don't listen to Frankengore's claptrap when he says global warming will kill us all in 20 years. With all of the increasing frequency and intensity of modern day hurricanes and tornadoes, all in all they act as heat pumps for the planet... negating the chance of spawning a hypercane let alone hundreds of them.
I bet you he's sorry he invented the Internet :)~
