The main benefit of pleading no contest is that the conviction canât be used against you later in a civil (non-criminal) lawsuit that may come out of the criminal activity.
Surface atmospheric pressure in the center of a hurricane tends to be extremely low. The lowest pressure reading ever recorded for a hurricane (typhoon Tip, 1979) is 870 millibars (mb). However, most storms have an average pressure of 950 millibars. To be classified as a hurricane, sustained wind speeds must be greater than 118 kilometers per hour at the storm's center.
Hurricanes and typhoons are large and sometimes intensely violent storm systems. In meteorological terms, they are tropical cyclones that have maximum sustained winds of at least 120 km/h (75 mph). Atlantic and eastern Pacific storms are called hurricanes, from the West Indian huracan (big wind), whereas western Pacific storms are called typhoons, from the Chinese taifun, great wind. The primary energy source for a tropical cyclone is the latent heat released when water vapor condenses.
