Robert Krulwich: How Much Does A Hurricane Weigh?

The phrase raining cats and dogs isn't quite right when you talk about hurricanes. This hurricane season, we throw an average one onto a cloud scientist's scale to see just how much water these monster weather machines carry through the sky. NPR's Robert Krulwich and Odd Todd explain how much a hurricane weighs.

And hurricanes can move so fast... So now it's easier to understand the damage they do. All that weight and speed build into a lot of kynetic energy.
