Woe to those who live in the path of a hypercane. What\\u2019s a hypercane? I\\u2019m glad you asked. In a frighteningly possible future you\\u2019ll be hearing more about them. As the planet warms and the climate changes, we\\u2019re in for all kinds of new and bizarre extreme weather systems. It\\u2019s a hurricane so big and so powerful it extends through several states.


Today on Cyber, we\\u2019ve got something special. Another short story from Motherboard\\u2019s first book: Terraform. Terraform editor Brian Merchant and special guest Eric Holthaus come on Cyber to discuss how we personalize the climate disaster we\\u2019re all living through. Holthaus is a meteorologist, climate journalist, and the founder of Currently\\u2014a weather service built for folks on the front line of the climate emergency. He\\u2019s here to read a bit of his Terraform story \\u2018Hypercane.\\u2019
