Oh, hey, it's your ex-boyfriend who pretended that he didn't know how to wash the cast iron, right?

So he just didn't.

Allie Ward, this one is a smooth sail through rough weather friends.

We got hurricanes.

You got hurricanes.

Maybe you have typhoons or cyclones.

Let's hear about the differences.

Let's hear how fast they go, how many we might have, and some real historical whoppers and more with not one, but two tempestologists.

So tempestology, it's a real word.

It describes the study of cyclones and hurricanes and other extreme weather events.

And the word tempest, I just found this out, it comes from the Latin root for temporal meaning time, which morphed into seasons, which morphed into weather and storms, which is apt, because now is definitely the time on Earth to hear about hurricanes.

Who, Nellie, is it?

So the first ologist we talked to studied physics and geophysics at Oregon State University and then got a

master's and a Ph.D. and Atmospheric Science at the University of Arizona. They're now an

associate professor and the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of

Arizona. And they teach about tropical meteorology and their research of these giant storm systems.

So, a shoe-in.

And because they both came so highly recommended, and I couldn't choose,

we also have a Rutgers-trained forecast meteorologist in Houston

and a writer and editor for Houston's highly respected meteorological outlet,

Space City Weather. This guest is a co-founder of the website The Eyewall, for Houston's highly respected meteorological outlet, space city weather.

This guest is a co-founder of the website, The Eyewall, too, which keeps an eye on developing storms.
