 Careful estimates of the force of a cy- olone and the energy required to keep a ful-fedged hurricane in active opera ton reveals the presence of a power that makes the mightiest efforts of man appear as nothing in comparison.

This is about | 15 times the power that can be develop- ed by all the means within the range of mans capabilities during the same | time.
