Chapter 651: Dali Storm

At this moment, its diameter was close to forty meters, 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 kilometer, it would accelerate by a little. Perhaps by three or five percent. But with every movement, it grew.

Soon, its diameter grew to nearly 50 meters. At this time, the wind speed near the eye this tropical cyclone had increased to level eight or nine. The wind speed was 18 meters per second.

Its current state was multiple times stronger than its original state.

If in the beginning, such a small tropical cyclone was equivalent to birthing a child, it had now become a kid.

At this time, it was unsuited to call it a tropical cyclone.

A vortex of such a level had a better name for it—a tropical storm!

Following the habit of naming hurricanes on Earth, this little tropical cyclone already had a new name.

Dali Storm!

Dali Storm was fully formed. Its strength had grown to the point where it could not be ignored!

It moved toward the direction of Merika. 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 phenomenon that was caused by the seawater being sucked up.

At that moment, 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...

...

Merika 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 Merika.”

“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 time 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 home and take care of babies.”

...

Dali Storm continued to move in the direction of Merika.

This stubborn child had grown to a diameter of more than 60 meters. 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 meters 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 meters per second to 30 meters 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 diameter had exceeded 100 meters and continued growing.

Cumulonimbus clouds built up and there were wind and thunder.

Dali Storm was finally formed. It swept all obstacles in the way and its diameter was still quickly growing!

One hundred meters! Two hundred meters!

Every few kilometers it traveled, its diameter increased by tens of meters.

When it arrived in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, its diameter had reached five kilometers! By this time, 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 became stronger.

Dali Storm continued sucking in the energy from the convection effect, and grew some more!

Ten kilometers!

Wind speed level, 13! Wind speed, forty meters per second!

From the satellite cloud image, Dali Storm finally became visible. No one could look down on it!

Dali Storm finally had another name!

Typhoon! In Merkia’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 meters 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!

...

Merika 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 time—this typhoon was moving toward Merika. 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 Merikan Weather Bureau was shocked.

After a moment 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 moment, it was obvious nature intended to give Merika 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 came 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 became an ordinary typhoon. With the strength of nature, everything was so simple and relaxed.

Dali Storm’s diameter had exceeded fifteen kilometers. Its wind speed had reached fifty meters per second, level fifteen of crazy winds. It brought about huge torrential rain, sea waves. The waves have reached a height of ten meters. 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 meters 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 Merika.

By this time, its wind speed was unbelievable. Not only that, the speed of which it was moving towards Merika also accelerated!

A diameter of fifteen kilometers, in just six hours, at dawn, it had become forty kilometers 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 become a super typhoon!

Super typhoons, the strongest among tropical cyclones. When the wind speed reached 51 meters per second, it was considered a super typhoon. The maximum wind speed was 300 kilometers 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 meters high, water and sky were connected. It was like a ferocious dragon roaring in the Pacific Ocean!

The waves had reached twenty meters high. There was seafoam everywhere. In addition to the darkness in the night, visibility was low. Dali Storm continued to move towards Merika!

At that moment, on the satellite cloud image, the shape of Dali Storm could no longer be seen...
