so random: Some people are calling the recent severe storms in the central US an inland hurricane, but this is inaccurate. A hurricane gets its energy through the evaporation and subsequent condensation of large amounts of very warm ocean water. The begin to lose energy as soon as they reach land or cooler water, and the chances of a hurricane remaining intact as far inland as Arizona are very remote. Hurricanes can also become extratropical storms, losing their tropical characteristics and hurricane status but sometimes retaining hurricane-force winds, and storms of this type can strike Arizona. Really? Better shut business down early, cancel school, close the 3 ring circus, etc...
