At this time, its diameter was just close to 40 meters, and the wind speed was only at level six or seven. Even if it blew onto the trees on the land, it would only cause the trees to sway.
Originally, a tropical vortex like this was not very useful.
But this tropical cyclone was a little different — Hong Dali's two sneezes made it much more tenacious than other weak typhoons!
It continued to move forward on the surface of the sea. Due to the convection, its speed would increase a little with every kilometer it moved. It was only about 3%, maybe 5%. However, every time it moved forward, it was slowly growing …
Very quickly, its diameter grew to close to 50 meters. At this time, the wind speed near the eye of the tropical vortex had increased to level eight or nine, and the wind speed reached about 18 meters per second.
Now, it was many times stronger than it was at the beginning.
If at the beginning, this small tropical vortex could only be regarded as a newborn child, then now, it had already entered the childhood stage.
At this time, it was obviously not appropriate to call it a tropical vortex anymore.
In fact, for a vortex of this level, there was a more appropriate term — tropical storm!
According to the habit of naming typhoons on Earth, this small tropical vortex now had a brand new name.
Herculean Storm!
At this time, Herculean Storm finally began to take shape. Its power now was something that no one dared to ignore!
It swept all the way in the direction of Merika, and the strong winds around the eye of the storm pulled all the seawater up. Many fish in the sea could even be seen flying up into the sky. That was a phenomenon caused by the seawater being swept up.
At this time, the clouds in the sky had already been pulled by it. From the satellite image, this small typhoon was enough to attract people's attention …
…
Merika Weather Bureau.
"Boss, look! It's a tropical storm! " The Weather Bureau staff who had already started working seriously suddenly shouted. "It's moving so fast, it seems to be coming in the direction of Merika."
"Oh? Tropical storm? " The Weather Bureau Chief hurriedly walked over. He looked carefully at the screen and said, "It has just entered the Pacific Ocean, it's still far from us. I reckon it will disappear by the time we get here."
Of course, although he said that, he also knew that he couldn't say anything about nature. He was still very serious. "Pay close attention to it. If there are any changes, report immediately."
"Yes, boss."
The Weather Bureau Chief thought for a while, then said, "Forget it, I'll go and inform the higher-ups. The weather recently doesn't seem to be very good." Thinking of this, he hurried out of the office hall and returned to his office. He called the Minister of Defense, Itra. "Hello, Minister Itra. We have discovered many small tropical storms in the ocean recently. Please be careful, Minister Itra."
"Oh." On the other side of the phone, Itra's voice was very calm. "Alright, I understand. Thank you for providing such valuable information. I will arrange for the other side to be careful."
After hanging up the phone, Itra touched his chin in disdain and smiled. "Tropical storm? He was really trying to find something to talk about. If the aircraft carrier strike group is afraid of a mere tropical storm, then we might as well just go home and hug our children. "
…
Mighty Storm continued to move towards the United States.
This tenacious child had grown from a small one at the beginning to a diameter of more than 60 meters. Of course, compared to a real typhoon that was enough to give people a warning, Mighty Storm was still not big enough — from the satellite image, it was only that small now. After all, although 60 meters was not small, it was still too small in the vast and boundless sea.
Mighty Storm continued to grow.
At this time, the sea had already been stirred up by Mighty Storm into a pot of porridge.
With the unique weather conditions, the more storm energy accumulated, Mighty Storm continued to strengthen. In just a little more than four hours, it quickly grew from the original 18 meters per second to 30 meters per second.
At this time, its wind speed had already reached level 11. The seawater was sucked up high into the sky. Then, when it reached a certain height, it was thrown out by the wind speed, forming a sky full of rain and fog, covering the sky and the sun.
A tropical storm of this intensity could already be called a strong tropical storm. If it hit land, the trees would be uprooted!
Mighty Storm's diameter had already exceeded 100 meters, and it was still growing rapidly.
The clouds in the sky surged, and the wind and thunder roared.
At this level, Mighty Storm finally had its momentum. Wherever it passed, it would destroy everything, and its diameter was also growing rapidly!
100 meters! 200 meters!
Every few kilometers it advanced, its diameter would increase by tens of meters!
When it reached the center of the Pacific Ocean, the diameter of Mighty Storm had already reached five kilometers! At this time, it was already very, very close to its next growth and evolution.
Just a little bit, just a little bit!
If it was during normal times, it might have been slightly slower, but at this time, the sun had set …
The air at night was usually slightly cooler, and after the sun shone on the sea during the day, the temperature of the sea was slightly higher. Therefore, the relatively high temperature of the sea, coupled with the continuously decreasing temperature of the air, caused the convection to become more and more intense.
At this time, Mighty Storm desperately absorbed the energy produced by the convection of the cold and hot air, and once again grew!
Ten kilometers!
Wind speed level, level 13! Wind speed of 40 meters per second!
At this time, from the satellite image, Mighty Storm finally became completely obvious, and no one dared to underestimate it anymore!
At this time, Mighty Storm finally had another name!
Typhoon! According to Merika, it was called a hurricane!
At this time, the sea level had already reached a terrifying level! The seawater was stirred up, and the waves on the surface of the sea were more than ten meters high. The rain and fog that were thrown out by the hurricane spread out for hundreds of miles. The entire sea was truly turbulent!
Such a typhoon, when it reached land, was enough to blow off roofs, and even uproot electric poles!
…
Merika Weather Bureau.
"God! Quick, look! Typhoon! A typhoon has appeared! "Finally seeing this scene, everyone in the Weather Bureau was shocked.
Speaking of which, they had always seen such typhoons, but it was different this time — this typhoon could be said to be heading straight for the United States. There were no detours in the middle!
And this was not the most frightening thing. What was truly frightening was that along the route of the typhoon to Merika, there were three aircraft carrier strike groups!
"Warning! Warning! "Everyone in the Merika Weather Bureau was shocked.
After a short moment of shock, they were hysterical with fear. "Quick! Immediately contact the higher-ups and ask them to change the route of the aircraft carrier strike groups. Quick! "
Everyone was in a panic. But at this time, it was obvious that Mother Nature was planning to give Merika a big surprise!
"My God!" A Weather Bureau staff member who had been staring at the computer screen screamed. "It's still growing! Still growing! This is too terrifying! This is really too terrifying! "
Everyone was attracted by his voice. When they saw the image displayed on the computer screen, they completely broke down. "Have we offended God?!"
…
As Mighty Storm moved forward, it continued to grow!
Obviously, it was not willing to just become an ordinary typhoon. Under the power of Mother Nature, everything seemed so easy and relaxed.
The diameter of Herculean Storm had already exceeded 15 kilometers, and its wind speed had reached 50 meters per second. It was a Category 15 gale, and wherever it passed, it brought with it a huge rainstorm, tides, and even huge waves that had reached a height of more than 10 meters. It could already be called a tsunami.
In the sea, not only were ordinary fish lifted up, but even sharks and smaller whales were also swept up by this huge storm.
They were swept up a few hundred meters into the air and then fell into the sea.
Mighty Storm was already at the level of a disaster. If it was in a movie, it would definitely be a disaster level scene — the kind that didn't need to use computer special effects at all.
But it was far from over!
Mighty Storm continued to move towards Merika.
At this time, its wind speed was getting faster and faster. Not only that, Mighty Storm's speed towards Merika was also getting faster and faster!
Its diameter started from fifteen kilometers in just six hours. By midnight, it had expanded to forty kilometers, and it was still expanding! From the satellite cloud map, the entire Pacific Ocean had already been shrouded by the clouds brought up by the cyclone, and it was still expanding!
Super typhoon!
At this time, Mighty Storm had finally become a super typhoon!
Super typhoon was the strongest level of tropical cyclones. When the wind speed was more than 51.0 meters per second, it was called a super typhoon. The wind speed could reach more than 300 kilometers per second. Wherever it went, everything was destroyed. This huge amount of energy could directly cause disasters to humans. This kind of wind was rarely seen on land, and it was extremely destructive.
On the sea, Mighty Storm covered the sky, and the clouds rolled wildly. The entire sky was more than five thousand meters high, and the water and sky were connected. It looked like an angry dragon roaring in the Pacific Ocean!
At this time, the waves were more than twenty meters high, and the sky was full of white foam. In addition to that, it was night time, and visibility was extremely low. Mighty Storm was like a plough rolling towards Merika!
At this time, the specific appearance of Mighty Storm could no longer be seen on the satellite cloud map …
