Hurricane Size Comparison

Tropical cyclone:
A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is referred to by different names, including hurricane (/ˈhʌrɪkən, -keɪn/), typhoon (/taɪˈfuːn/), tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression, and simply cyclone.[4] A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean, and a typhoon occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean; while in the south Pacific or Indian Ocean, comparable storms are referred to simply as "tropical cyclones" or "severe cyclonic storms".

"Tropical" refers to the geographical origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively over tropical seas. "Cyclone" refers to their winds moving in a circle, whirling round their central clear eye, with their winds blowing counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The opposite direction of circulation is due to the Coriolis effect. Tropical cyclones typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water.

The strong rotating winds of a tropical cyclone are a result of the conservation of angular momentum imparted by the Earth's rotation as air flows inwards toward the axis of rotation. As a result, they rarely form within 5° of the equator. Tropical cyclones are almost unknown in the South Atlantic due to a consistently strong wind shear and a weak Intertropical Convergence Zone. Also, the African easterly jet and areas of atmospheric instability which give rise to cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, along with the Asian monsoon and Western Pacific Warm Pool, are features of the Northern Hemisphere and Australia.

Atlantic hurricane:
An Atlantic hurricane or tropical storm is a tropical cyclone that forms in the Atlantic Ocean, usually in the summer or fall. A hurricane differs from a cyclone or typhoon only on the basis of location.[1] A hurricane is a storm that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean, a typhoon occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, and a cyclone occurs in the south Pacific or Indian Ocean.

Tropical cyclones can be categorized by intensity. Tropical storms have one-minute maximum sustained winds of at least 39 mph (34 knots, 17 m/s, 63 km/h), while hurricanes have one-minute maximum sustained winds exceeding 74 mph (64 knots, 33 m/s, 119 km/h). Most North Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes form between June 1 and November 30. The United States National Hurricane Center monitors the basin and issues reports, watches, and warnings about tropical weather systems for the North Atlantic Basin as one of the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers for tropical cyclones, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization.

In recent times, tropical disturbances that reach tropical storm intensity are named from a predetermined list. Hurricanes that result in significant damage or casualties may have their names retired from the list at the request of the affected nations in order to prevent confusion should a subsequent storm be given the same name. On average, in the North Atlantic basin (from 1966 to 2009) 11.3 named storms occur each season, with an average of 6.2 becoming hurricanes and 2.3 becoming major hurricanes (Category 3 or greater).[6] The climatological peak of activity is around September 11 each season.

Great graphics, info and presentation! Looking forward for more! Keep it up and you'll become big!

Tip: I'm the biggest Hurricane on Earth.
Saturn: Hold my Polar Vortex and Hexagon.
Jupiter: I'm about to destroy this planet's rings.

I was only 9 when sandy hit New York city, and yet looking at the size of that thing now is just... Mind boggling. Our electricity turned off a few times, and a shitload of damage was done to my dad's store in Manhattan, but apart from that, I feel rather lucky that nothing too bad happened to my family.
So much love to the families out there who's homes *have* gotten destroyed by storms of that nature.

I was in New York by the time Hurricane Sandy hit. I was in far rockaway queens, I remember looking out of the building I was in that night, and I saw water trickling in from the bay in the back, and the beach a couple blocks away. Everything flooded all the way up to the 2nd floor, the power was out for MONTHS. It was a terrifying experience.

And the biggest hurricane ever goes to....

My grandfather and his team of hurricane hunters were the ones who flew into Typhoon Tip. It was the lowest, or highest, pressure storm ever recorded at that time.

Crazily enough I’ve been through 3 of these storms! Harvey was absolutely insane for the amount of water over such a large area. You could be in a boat for dozens of miles literally driving over the tops of abandoned cars on roads. Surreal experience

Watching this at 3:00 am and the music made me feel like I was being watched or something

[pinkmanlyrubberduck]

Awwww, for some reason it's kinda adorable that Marco is so small, he is just spinning there like a tiny windy whirl...

[fionanolastname]

This music makes it so much scarier, but it also is perfect for the video.

i was there during maria. I was there before, during and after, and it is in every way shape or form the worst experience ive ever lived through. this is coming from someone who liked hurricane season because it was never all that bad and i could stay home from school, but ever since then, ive gained a huge respect towards nature and what it can really do. puertorican people are so resilient and strong and everyone i know has a story about their time living through it. it's one of those days i'll remember every detail about for the rest of my life, and one of those periods of my time where i'll have very visceral flashbacks of the aftermath and what changed from then on. luckily, none of my family passed as a direct relation to the hurricane, and my heart goes out to everyone's families who perished because of it. i am still in awe of how poorly the government did for its people, and how much they failed the island as a whole. </3

That was actually a really good video. I didn't realize how massive Irma really was when it hit. Damn.

Everyone talking about Hurricane Florence, this video was made way before she was formed! In case you're still wondering how big she is, I looked it up and a source says that she has a diameter of around 800 kilometers! Not sure if it's true or not, but if it is, just use Matthew as a reference, as he's also 800 kilometers wide.
Stay safe, everyone!

Man 2017 wasn’t long ago but man it was crazy watching those storms roll off Africa and develop into monsters.

[FlyEagleaFly]

We all know there is going to be many “Hurricane Tortilla” jokes.

Who else is watching during hurricane Florence?

Please remember me when you become big!

[inkspots]

Bro the hurricanes are scary enough but then there’s the music☠️

[LonelyStranger]

The information about the storms, plus the eerie music made for a fascinating and hair raising video. Awesome job and I don't recommend watching this before bed or during hurricane season. Gave me goosebumps.
