Storm surge is one of the deadliest hazards of a hurricane. It is also "a very complex phenomenon," according to the hurricane center," because it depends on factors including a storm's wind speeds, size and angle of approach to the coastline, as well as the shape and characteristics of ...
But how intense is a Category 5 hurricane, and what do the different categories mean for people in the storm's path? The National Weather Service uses the Saffir-Simpson Scale, which only measures a hurricane's sustained wind speeds using a 1 to 5 rating system. This sca...
Earlier Monday Milton's winds surged past 175 mph and beyond, exceeding the threshold for Category 5 storm by a significant margin. The storm's wind speeds had more than doubled in 48 hours. Forecasters with the hurricane center predict the storm will strike Florida's western Gulf Coast as...
aCategories(类别)of Hurricanes There are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage(危害) a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm. For example, a Category 5 那里(飓风)类别类别是...
Hurricane-AnalysisYou will work to write several functions that organize and manipulate data about Category 5 Hurricanes, the strongest hurricanes as rated by their wind speed. Each one of these functions will use a number of parameters, conditionals, lists, dictionaries, string manipulation, and ret...

Rapid intensification refers to a storm's wind speeds increasing by more than 58 miles per hour in a 24-hour window. From 1980 to 2023, 177 Atlantic hurricanes that made landfall have rapidly intensified. About 80% of Category 3-5 hurricanes undergo this process. ...
After unfurling into an explosive, massive Category 5 storm with formidable winds topping 180 mph on Monday, Milton's sustained wind speeds began to decline as the storm approached landfall. Earlier, forecasters described it as a "catastrophic" hurricane. ...
Milton’s wind speed increased by 92 mph (148 kph) in 24 hours — a pace that trails only those of Hurricane Wilma in 2005 and Hurricane Felix in 2007. One reason Milton strengthened so rapidly is its small “pinhole eye,” just like Wilma's, saidColora...
