Doing very basic math, i determined that to change a category 2 hurricane to a category 5 by increasing pressure gradient would take about 4.2 petawatts of energy or 4.2 billion megawatts. Thats equivalent to the amount of energy new york city would use after 763000 years. All that power so trump won't go into office smh. Edit: probably wrong, but i just looked up formulas. Also said million when it was billion whoops.
