Together with chlorine from saltwater thrown up by the hypercane these radicals could destroy vast quantities of stratospheric ozone. UV radiation would then reach the Earth’s surface unhindered, killing organisms on land and in the upper layers of the ocean.
ref: 1940, Current Biography Yearbook, H. W. Wilson, page 181:
text: Hypercanes is a speculative attempt to explain mass species extinctions 245 million years ago. Computer models showed that continent-sized super-storms with winds averaging 600 kilometres per hour could be produced if oceans warmed to an incredible 45 to 50 degrees C. Such temperatures are impossible today barring a massive meteor strike or gigantic underwater volcano eruption.
ref: 2005 September 16, Stephen Leahy, “The Dawn of the Hypercane?”, in ipsnews.net/news, archived from the original on 17 May 2008:

Of the Gods some are of the world, cosmic, and some above the world, hypercosmic. By the cosmic I mean those who make the cosmos. Of the hypercosmic Gods some create essence, some mind, and some soul. Thus they have three orders; all of which may be found in treatises on the subject.
text: It has parts of quasi-infinite density, bound together by cohesion of hypercosmic power; a mathematical or differential surface, which, inwards, is the seat of attraction to the other parts of the atom; and, outwards, it has the power of unconquerable repulsion to all that is near; so that no two atoms can beforced into contact.
