Question about Hurricanes

Blast it hundreds of feet in the air, and be enough to saturate all of the clouds with salt? Yea, riiiight. Did you skip 5th grade when weather was covered ?

1. Hurricane
2. Wait for rain and stick tougue out.
3. If it's salty, go around saying "It tastes salty" and nothing more.

Again it scares me to think what would happen to some of you without the internet.

Jeez did I offend you or something?

You don't think with 100MPH winds it isn't possible to blow up a lot sea water into the air and blast it ashore?

Here's something I pulled up:

A hurricane with heavy rain is produced as warm air rises. The goal of the project is to determine how much sea spray is swept into the air. This will allow researchers to better understand the formation of a hurricane.

"The theory is that the amount of heat transferred to the air when [heat rises] increases as more sea spray is swept up. This heat makes the air more buoyant, causing it to rise faster so the storm gets more intense," Lawrence said.

The Rain Salinity Probe is a tiny circuit that works by monitoring electric currents generated by heat created by salt in the water. When the salt content is high, as it is in ocean spray, the current moves quickly. When the water has little salt in it, as in evaporated ocean water, the current moves slowly.

I bet librarians are really happy.
