Hypercane
A Hypercane is a hypothetical class of hurricane that would be formed by an asteroid impact. They are also a possible consequence of global warming.
It would be a phenomenal storm--20 miles high, with winds approaching 500 miles an hour.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is labeled as a hypercane.
