The moisture content is immense, the heat involved and energy involved are immense.
Dan, thanks for weighing in on my question. It's making more sense to me that hurricanes are closed systems dispensing what they collected at their source until they're spent, without contributions along the way. Astounding scales of matter and energy. Thank God Katia is offshore because there is another day or two before flood waters peak in our region and I can't imagine what another hit right now would be like around here. Locally, we're not affected by the flooding; but I can't help but feel the misery it's causing. |
