  1. Hurricanes

    The Hurricanes are a New Zealand professional Rugby union team based in Wellington that competes in the Super Rugby competition. The team represents the East Coast, Hawke's Bay, Horowhenua Kapiti, Manawatu, Poverty Bay, Taranaki, Wairarapa-Bush, Wanganui and Wellington unions, and currently plays at Westpac Stadium, having previously played at the now-defunct Athletic Park. The Hurricanes were formed to represent the lower North Island with the conception of the Super 12 competition in 1996, which featured teams from New Zealand, South Africa and Australia. The Hurricanes had a poor first season, but rebounded in 1997 with a third placing. The team did not reach the play-offs for another five years as the team struggled in the bottom four of the table. Since 2003 the Hurricanes have made the post-season play-offs five times out of the last eight seasons; including the 2006 final, which they lost in horrendously foggy weather against the Crusaders 19-12.

Examples of hurricanes in a Sentence

  1. Petteri Taalas:

    We are already at 1.2 degrees warming and the IPCC [ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ] says that for the welfare of mankind and also for the welfare of biosphere, the 1.5 degree target would be more favored, with the 2 degrees target, we would see more negative impacts of Climate Change -RSB-, it would harm global food production capacity, there would be plenty of coastal cities that would suffer from sea level rise, and we would see more category 4 and 5 hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones.

  2. Haywood Johnson:

    We figured that that's the last time, but this time here with Hurricane Ida it's like nothing that I ever seen in my life. I've been in hurricanes but I've never seen one like this.

  3. Carly Kovacik:

    I don't think a lot of people realize that these cyclones in the northern Pacific can be equivalent to a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic, a lot of these storms produce very strong winds and high seas, but since they are mid-latitude storms, we just don't call them hurricanes even though the impacts can be very similar.

  4. Kristina Dahl:

    Hurricanes get their strength from the waters that they're passing over, from all of the heat and the energy in the water, and the warmer that water is that they're passing over, the more fuel they have to strengthen. So that's why Concerned Scientists see hurricanes intensify when they go over stretches of anomalously warm water like Concerned Scientists had in the Gulf of Mexico just before the storm hit.

  5. Jim Kossin:

    Tropical cyclones are fairly random animals, and they respond to the random nature of the atmosphere at any given time, but certainly, this steady warming of the ocean that's been happening in the Atlantic because of the combination of greenhouse gas increases and the particulate pollution decreases, that has a profound effect — and the changes to the particulate pollution have a much more dramatic effect on the hurricanes.
