what do elephants and clouds have in common?
i heard on NPR (national public radio) today:
how heavy are clouds (in terms of water weight)?
1 itsy bitsy cumulus cloud = 100 elephants
1 cumulonimbus cloud (e.g. storm cloud) = 15 million elephants
1 hurricane = 100 million elephants
and we're not talking about dumbo here, but regular sized elephants. so you can imagine how large hurricane matthew was and the destruction that caused in mexico.
