Picture the most powerful and destructive megastorm ever to hit this planet. A super hurricane that reaches 20 miles high with wind approaching 700 mph. Was it responsible for wiping out 75 percent of all living things on Earth some 65 million years ago? Could one of these storms been a contributing factor to the extinction of the dinosaurs? Could planet Earth possibly face a hypercane in our time today? See what leading scientists and experts have to say about the devastating disasters we could possibly be faced with in our time.

  • it was probably a combination of factors that caused the extinction event, along with these hypercanes.

  • Wow, 500mph winds could lift you up, this storm is very scary

  • EXCELSIOR!

  • If you believe the rapist Al Gore this WILL happen if you don't fill his pockets with your money, by buying his Carbon credits.

  • @JStrohm9000 ermmm well im not sure if i am right on this one, but i think its because the amount of energy given off by the impact of the asteroid (in the form of heat) is enough to heat up the oceans. and the tidal wave sent off by such an impact would have spread the boiling water all over the place, especially since the tidal waves were supposed to have been 100's of meters tall.

  • There is this movie called Category 7: End of The World, its about hypercanes. In it, they chase them, survive them, and have to stop one from destroying DC.

    If you are a weather geek like myself, go watch it. Its on youtube.

  • Damn nature, you scary!

    Like the hypercane, we might see some other megastorms in the future,

    I have a theroy on a turbocell (megastorm version of the supercell).

  • Must be Force Majeure that this Cyclone goes all the way up into the Stratosfear. (Ohhh ho ho ho ho ho, yes, I am so funny with all the Tangerine Dream puns)

  • If the source of a hypercane was a small area where a meteor hit the ocean, how is there still enough convection to power it once it moves away from that hot spot? Wouldn't it just die after moving over normal ocean water?

  • @kyotosomo ?

    @Video I wonder where all the other Hypercane videos go. Whats with the music stuff?
