[00:00:00]Hurricane Michael went from a weak storm to a category 4 in just 24 hours.

[00:00:04]Hurricanes can quickly become much stronger, sometimes in less than a day.

[00:00:08]This sudden power up is called rapid intensification. It means winds can go from a mild system to a dangerous category 3. This quick change makes predicting their full power very hard.

[00:00:19]Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center closely watch for this. For example, Hurricane Michael in 2018 intensified from a category 1 to a category 4 storm in just 24 hours before hitting Florida. This surge in power caught many by surprise. This sudden boost in power comes from very warm ocean water. When a tropical cyclone passes over water that is 26.5°C or warmer, it gets a massive energy supply. This warm ocean acts like fuel, powering the system's growth.
