‘Underwater cities, 200 mph winds, Category 6 storm’: New book warns of dire climate change consequences
Live MintAn international team of more than 60 scientists has warned of an impending ‘Ultra-intense Category 6’ hurricane in the United States due to climate change, the Daily Mail reported. According to the experts, an ultra-intense Category 6 storm would imply winds exceeding 192 miles per hour and a 25-foot rise in seawater, which would directly impact coastal residential areas, including megacities such as New York and Miami. The hypothetical 'Hurricane Danielle' is predicted to enter the New York Harbour, where its wind force would likely rattle and snap the three-foot thick suspension cables of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Fox also noted that the predicted 48-hour storm and rising sea water together would pose "compounding forces of climate change" for New York.
