I had to take all those physics courses that describe the phenomena.

And as a weather hobbyist for over 55 years, and one who tracks the annual Atlantic hurricanes (I sub to a couple of weather model sites like Pivotal Weather), I have seen the uptick of record breaking RI (rapid intensification) of recent hurricanes in the past 10 years, and it's pretty scary.
