I found this video highly informative re hurricane size.

Impressive. Thanks for posting.

If I’m reading the graphic correctly, please consider the following.

Since the biggest hurricane of 2017 so far, Hurricane IRMA, shows as the 7th largest hurricane, significantly smaller in diameter than Typhoon Tip, I don’t see politically correct global warming at work.

Corrections, insights welcome.

It’s not the size of the hurricane, it’s how you use it that counts.....

Except the spin.

Hurricane size and intensity are not directly related.

Hurricane Camille and Cyclone Tracy (Cat 5 and Cat 3 respectively) were both small but powerful storms that did massive damage in the areas they did hit.

Wowzer! We got remnants of Sandy here in Northern Indiana. It came up the Great Lakes and blew from the north. All the trees were leaning toward the northeast, due to the prevailing SW winds. I called the tree removal people and had all four giant maples taken out. I've never regretted that. That allowed my tree guy to retire.
