Listening to a BBC news report where an "expert" was interviewed, it was suggested that the power of the hurricane was more than all the energy ever produced by mankind!
Perhaps, regardless of the veracity of the anecdote (and I have no reason to doubt it), it is nonetheless very humbling to think Mother Nature always has the upper hand!

Yeah, and the energy required to make two electrons touch would be enough to lift all the water out of the all the worlds oceans to a height of 4 feet and hold it there for 1 second. It doesn't have to be a hurricane to be big.

Yours, Nick
