Chapter 651: Dali Storm
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At this mont, its diater was close to forty ters, and the wind speed was only six to seven. Even if it were on land, it was only sufficient to sway the trees.
Originally, such a tropical cyclone did not do much.
But this tropical cyclone was a little bit different—Hong Dali’s two sneezes made it stronger than other weak hurricanes!
It continued to advance on the sea. Due to convection effect, every move of up to one kiloter, it would accelerate by a little. Perhaps by three or five percent. But with every movent, it grew.
Soon, its diater grew to nearly 50 ters. At this ti, the wind speed near the eye this tropical cyclone had increased to level eight or nine. The wind speed was 18 ters per second.
Its current state was multiple tis stronger than its original state.
If in the beginning, such a small tropical cyclone was equivalent to birthing a child, it had now beco a kid.
At this ti, it was unsuited to call it a tropical cyclone.
A vortex of such a level had a better na for it—a tropical storm!
Following the habit of naming hurricanes on Earth, this little tropical cyclone already had a new na.
Dali Storm!
Dali Storm was fully ford. Its strength had grown to the point where it could not be ignored!
It moved toward the direction of rika. The crazy winds near the eye of the hurricane sucked up the seawater together with many fishes. The fishes looked like they were dancing toward the sky. That was a phenonon that was caused by the seawater being sucked up.
At that mont, the clouds in the sky were drawn by the hurricane. From the satellite cloud images, an originally small hurricane was now sufficient to attract attention...
...
rika Weather Bureau.
“Boss, quick, look! It’s a tropical storm!” The weather bureau officer who started to pay attention to the satellite cloud image suddenly shouted. “It’s moving so fast, it seems to be coming towards rika.”
“Oh? Tropical storm?” The Bureau Chief quickly walked over. He scrutinized the screen and said, “It has just entered the Pacific Ocean, still quite a distance away. It should disappear by the ti it approaches us.”
Of course, that was what he said. But he also knew nature was unpredictable. He said seriously, “Pay close attention, report once there are any changes.”
“Yes, boss.”
The Weather Bureau’s Bureau Chief thought about it and said, “Forget it, I better report it. The weather doesn’t look good recently.” With that thought, he quickly left office hall and returned to his office, calling Defense Minister, Chief Itra. “Hello, Chief Itra, we found many small tropical storms on the ocean as of late. Please be more careful, Chief Itra.”
“Oh.” Itra sounded calm on the other end of the line. “Okay. I understand. Thank you for this piece of important news. I will inform them to be more careful.”
When he hung up, Itra rubbed his chin and smiled. “Tropical storm? What rubbish. If the aircraft carrier strike group was afraid of a little tropical storm, we might as well go ho and take care of babies.”
...
Dali Storm continued to move in the direction of rika.
This stubborn child had grown to a diater of more than 60 ters. Of course, Dali Storm was not yet big enough to put people on their guard—from the satellite cloud image, it was still tiny. Sixty ters might not be small, but in the vast sea, it was still little.
Dali Storm continued to grow.
By now, the sea had been stirred like porridge in a pot by Dali Storm.
Unique climatic conditions, energy harnessed from the hurricane, Dali Storm continued to grow stronger. In just four hours, its speed increased from 18 ters per second to 30 ters per second.
Its wind speed had reached level 11. Seawater had been sucked up in the air. When it reached a certain height, it got thrown out, forming rain and fog.
A tropical storm of this strength could be known as an intense tropical storm. If it were on land, trees would be uprooted!
Dali Storm’s diater had exceeded 100 ters and continued growing.
Cumulonimbus clouds built up and there were wind and thunder.
Dali Storm was finally ford. It swept all obstacles in the way and its diater was still quickly growing!
One hundred ters! Two hundred ters!
Every few kiloters it traveled, its diater increased by tens of ters.
When it arrived in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, its diater had reached five kiloters! By this ti, it was very close to its next growth stage.
Just a little more, a little more!
If it were during usual hours, its growth might have slowed down. But it was sunset...
The air at night was usually cooler. The temperature of the sea surface was slightly higher from the sun. Hence, the hot temperature from the sea surface and the cooler air temperature, the convection effect beca stronger.
Dali Storm continued sucking in the energy from the convection effect, and grew so more!
Ten kiloters!
Wind speed level, 13! Wind speed, forty ters per second!
From the satellite cloud image, Dali Storm finally beca visible. No one could look down on it!
Dali Storm finally had another na!
Typhoon! In rkia’s terms, a hurricane!
The surface of the sea was terrifying! The sea was stirred up by the sky, and the waves on the sea were more than ten ters high. The rain and fog that was thrown out by the hurricane spread over a hundred miles, turbulent waters!
Such a typhoon, if it were on land, it was strong enough to send houses flying. Electric poles would be uprooted as well!
...
rika Weather Bureau.
“Oh my God! Quick, look! Typhoon! A typhoon has appeared!” The people at the weather bureau who had finally seen this were all shocked.
They had seen such typhoons usually. But it was different this ti—this typhoon was moving toward rika. There was no detour at all!
This was not the most terrifying thing, what was really scary was that the route of the typhoon’s direction was where the three carrier strike groups were!
“Alert! Alert!” The entire rikan Weather Bureau was shocked.
After a mont of shock, was absolute fear. “Quick! Quick report this, get the people commanding the carrier strike groups to change their route. Hurry up!”
Everyone was in a frenzy, but at this mont, it was obvious nature intended to give rika a huge surprise!
“Oh my lord!” The people who had been staring at the monitor shouted hysterically, “It’s still growing! Growing! It’s too scary! It’s simply too terrifying!”
Everyone was drawn from his shouts and ca closer. When they saw the monitor, everyone broke down. “Did we offend the Gods?!”
...
Dali Storm continued growing as it moved!
Clearly, it was unhappy that it only beca an ordinary typhoon. With the strength of nature, everything was so simple and relaxed.
Dali Storm’s diater had exceeded fifteen kiloters. Its wind speed had reached fifty ters per second, level fifteen of crazy winds. It brought about huge torrential rain, sea waves. The waves have reached a height of ten ters. It was already tsunami-level.
In the sea, not just fishes were sucked in. Even sharks and smaller whales were sucked into the storm.
They were swept to a few hundred ters high before they fell back into the sea.
Dali Storm was at a disaster-level. If it were put into a movie, it would definitely be a disaster-level scene—one that did not require further computer effects.
But that was not the end!
Dali Storm continued heading towards rika.
By this ti, its wind speed was unbelievable. Not only that, the speed of which it was moving towards rika also accelerated!
A diater of fifteen kiloters, in just six hours, at dawn, it had beco forty kiloters and still growing! From the satellite cloud image, about 1/4 of the entire Pacific Ocean was covered by clouds and fog brought about by Dali Storm. And it was still expanding!
Super typhoon!
Dali Storm had beco a super typhoon!
Super typhoons, the strongest among tropical cyclones. When the wind speed reached 51 ters per second, it was considered a super typhoon. The maximum wind speed was 300 kiloters per hour. Wherever it went, it would be catastrophic. A typhoon of such strength could cause direct disaster to human beings. Such wind speed was rare on land. It was destructive.
On the sea, Dali Storm had covered the skies. The clouds twisted. The entire sky, five thousand ters high, water and sky were connected. It was like a ferocious dragon roaring in the Pacific Ocean!
The waves had reached twenty ters high. There was seafoam everywhere. In addition to the darkness in the night, visibility was low. Dali Storm continued to move towards rika!
At that mont, on the satellite cloud image, the shape of Dali Storm could no longer be seen...
