Yes, an hypercane is created in the same way as a hurricane. The only difference is that hypercanes develop over super hot water, while hurricanes develop over warm water.

What is a hypercane?

A hypercane is a theoretical, hypothetical, and extremely powerful tropical cyclone that could potentially form due to abnormally warm ocean temperatures. It would be much stronger than any hurricane that has ever been observed, with wind speeds surpassing 500 km/h (310 mph). However, hypercanes have not been observed in reality.


What is the cause of hypercane?

A hurricane has several ingredients for formations. The ingredients are hot water, low pressure area, deadly convection and lots of wind. The evaporation kicks up and they fill the air with water molecules. The more water is filled and the hurricane gets stronger. When it becomes a tropical depression, meteorologists usually name the hurricane to avoid confusion with other hurricanes. Sometimes, the hurricane can get stronger but it weakens when it hits land, slow down, stops moving or hits cold water. When the hurricane weakens too far, it degenerates into a low pressure area. They can be also named typhoons or tropical cyclones depending where it occurs. A hypercane is similar to hurricanes but they're much more stronger and larger. They need an extra ingredient which is an extremely hot water like an undersea volcano. A hypercane and sweep of the continent which is much more dangerous and deadly.


What is a name for a super hurricane?

While there are 'Super Typhoons' in the Pacific, there are no equivalent 'Super Hurricanes' in the Atlantic. This is not a question of size of storm, just of nomenclature. A Typhoon becomes 'Super' when its winds get above 150 mph. This is equivalent to a strong Category 4 Hurricane. So a 'Super Hurricane' would effectively be a Category 4 or 5 Hurricane. The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) does use the term 'Major Hurricane', but applies this to any storm over Category 3. So there's no direct equivalence between a 'Super Typhoon' and a 'Major Hurricane': they overlap but not perfectly. Previously, in the 50s and 60s the term 'Great Hurricane' was used instead of 'Major'.


Can Pittsburgh get a hurricane?

Pittsburgh is not directly located on the coast, so it is less likely to be directly hit by a hurricane. However, the remnants of a hurricane can still bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to the region, leading to potential flooding and other weather-related issues.


Was there ever a hurricane Kevin?

Yes, there was a Hurricane Kevin during the 1991 Pacific hurricane season. The have also been 3 tropical storms (usualy precursers to hurricanes) named Kevin in 1985, 1997, and 2003. More information can be found on wikipedia regarding Hurricane Kevin, see related links below.
