FAQs

What is the answer to a storm with very strong winds? ›

A cyclone and a typhoon are types of violent tropical storms with very strong winds. A squall is a sudden strong, violent wind, usually in a rain or snow storm.

A Watkyns storm is an aggressive electrical storm caused by nuclear pollution in the environment. During Episode 6, John gives more details about how the storm originated. He indicates a nuclear plant in Watkyn's Harbor exploded during a power outage.

A storm is a disturbance in the atmosphere, or air. Thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes are powerful and sometimes dangerous types of storms. People also use the word storm to describe strong winds or other forms of severe weather.

The 'perfect storm' is a once-in-a-hundred-years combination: a high pressure system from the Great Lakes, running into storm winds over an Atlantic island – Sable Island – and colliding with a weather system from the Caribbean: Hurricane Grace.

An extremely strong wind is called storm.

A typical derecho consists of numerous microbursts, downbursts, and downburst clusters. By definition, if the wind damage swath extends more than 240 miles (about 400 kilometers) and includes wind gusts of at least 58 mph (93 km/h) or greater along most of its length, then the event may be classified as a derecho.

NEW: As part of today's mass layoff, Sony has canceled a Twisted Metal live-service game that was in development at UK-based studio Firesprite, Bloomberg has learned. Twisted Metal was PlayStation's original flagship series, launching a couple of months after the PS1 was released in North America in the fall of 1995.

Sony has reportedly canceled an unannounced Twisted Metal live-service game as part of today's mass layoffs. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier said the game was in early development at UK studio Firesprite, which Sony had earlier confirmed is affected by the job cuts.

The Fallout series of video games, which has a post-apocalyptic world as their setting, lists Mad Max as one of its influences. Other video games inspired by Mad Max or its sequels include Twisted Metal, Carmageddon, Borderlands, Rage and Fuel.

In the Bible the storm is a symbol of many different things. Non-destructive wind is an apt picture of the presence of God because God is powerful, yet unseen (John 3:8; 4:24). When God's Spirit came at Pentecost the accompanying sign was the sound of “a mighty rushing wind” (Acts 2:2).

What is an eye in a storm? ›

The Eye the center of the storm. The most recognizable feature found within a hurricane is the eye. They are found at the center and are between 20-50km in diameter. The eye is the focus of the hurricane, the point about which the rest of the storm rotates and where the lowest surface pressures are found in the storm.

The English word comes from Proto-Germanic *sturmaz meaning "noise, tumult". Storms are created when a center of low pressure develops with the system of high pressure surrounding it. This combination of opposing forces can create winds and result in the formation of storm clouds such as cumulonimbus.

Damage from the storm totaled over $200 million (1991 USD) and thirteen people were killed in total, six of which were an outcome of the sinking of Andrea Gail, which inspired the book and later movie, The Perfect Storm.

The Red Spot is the largest known storm in the Solar System. With a diameter of 15,400 miles, it is almost twice the size of the entire Earth and one-sixth the diameter of Jupiter itself. The long lifetime of the Red Spot may be due to the fact that Jupiter is mainly a gaseous planet.

It was made famous by the book and subsequent movie of the same name, which depicted the events surrounding the storm and its impact on a group of fishermen. Unfortunately, all six crew members of the Andrea Gail, a commercial fishing vessel that was lost at sea during the storm, perished and did not survive.

The term "gale" is used to describe a strong wind, typically ranging from about 32 to 63 kilometers per hour (20 to 39 miles per hour) on the Beaufort scale.

Short bursts of high speed wind are termed gusts. Strong winds of intermediate duration (around one minute) are termed squalls. Long-duration winds have various names associated with their average strength, such as breeze, gale, storm, and hurricane.

Tropical Cyclone - A rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain.
