  • oh hey it's still your ex-boyfriend who pretended he didn't know how to wash the cast iron right so he just didn't alleyward and this is part two of a smooth sail through rough weather.

  • This is ologies.

  • This is hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclones.

  • We described the difference in part one.

  • And in part one, we met Dr. Kim Wood,

  • who's an associate professor in the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona,

  • and also Matt Lanza,

  • a Rutgers-trained forecast meteorologist and a writer and editor for Houston's highly respected,

  • deeply beloved meteorological outlet, Space City Weather.

  • And he's also a co-founder of the how fast hurricanes go with the threshold for a Category 1 being 74 miles an hour.

  • And Kim Blue opened my mind explaining that if you stuck your hand outside a moving car window,

  • think of that force.

  • A Category 5, as covered in Part 1,

  • is at least 157 miles per hour or 252 kilometers an hour or higher.

  • Catastrophic indeed.

  • So when you're thinking about these wind speeds, like... I can't imagine.

  • Okay, but before we dive into this part too,

  • thank you to patrons of the show who make Ologies possible.

  • You can join for a dollar or more a month and send in questions for the ologists via patreon.com slash ologies.
