Scientists estimate that a cyclone/huricane/typhoon releases energy at the rate of about 1 PetaWatt (1015 watt)/day or 115740740741 watts/second.
This is equivalent to 70 times the world energy consumption of humans/day and 200 times the worldwide electrical generating capacity/day, or to exploding a 10-megaton nuclear bomb every 20 minutes.

I have read figures like 1000 hydrogen bombs, but this is a very unusable unit as a hydrogen bomb can have any yield from <1Kton to >100Mton.

Does hurricanes get their energy from warm air over land?
No, hurricanes get their energy from evaporation from warm ocean water.
What hurricane formed tornadoes?
Many hurricanes have produced tornadoes, it is a fairly common ocurrence. Most hurricanes that have hit the United States in recent years have produced tornadoes.
What is the source for a hurricanes energy?
me mum
Do hurricanes get their heat and energy fron seawater?
yes
How does hurricanes transfer thermal energy?
conduction and convection
How do hurricanes lose energy?
They lose there energy when the Hurricanes reach land because the sea is there food and energy. when the hurricanes reach land it destroys thinks in its path and dies.
Are there hurricanes and tornadoes in the Caribbean and Bahamas?
Yes. Hurricanes are common in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Tornadoes are less common, but can be produced by hurricanes.
Does hurricanes get their energy from warm air over land?
No, hurricanes get their energy from evaporation from warm ocean water.
Do tornadoes come before hurricanes?
Generally not, although tornadoes are often produced by landfalling hurricanes, most tornadoes are not associate with hurricanes.
What is the source of energy for tornadoes and hurricanes?
Ultimately, the source of energy for both tornadoes and hurricanes is warm, moist air.
Do tornadoes and hurricanes occur together?
Sometimes a hurricane can produce tornadoes, but most tornadoes are not produced by hurricanes.

Do hurricanes gain energy?
Yes. Hurricanes gain energy from moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. A hurricane could never develop if it were unable to gain energy.
