Hypercanes are essentially a smaller(though some scientists, think larger), more powerful and longer lived version of a hurricane. Theoretically they are produced when ocean temperatures exceed 122 degrees. This can be the result of volcanism, a meteor impact, runaway global warming, etc. The winds could exceed 500 miles per hour and some theorists have postulated that hypercanes formed after the Chicxulub impact which is thought to have contributed to the mass extinctions of that era. I found the information to be fascinating and Hypercanes were a new phenomena , unknown to me.
Interesting stuff and will probably happen for one of the mentioned reasons. Only a question of WHEN??? SCARY TOO!!! .
