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.
Gusts are estimated as high as 230 mph. A typhoon becomes a super typhoon when its winds reach 150 mph, the Weather Channel reported. Thousands of people evacuated villages in the central Philippines on Thursday, including 100 coastal communities where forecasters said the storm surge could reach up to 23 feet.
