Hurricanes. Typhoons. Cyclones. Tropical storms. Tropical depressions. What does it all MEAAAN? Let’s dive in. Career meteorologists Dr. Kim Wood of the University of Arizona and Space City Weather’s Matt Lanza join for a two-guest two-parter to address the “deadlier” female-named hurricanes, why hurricane season happens, the category system, where hurricanes come from, why they have eyes, and how we track cyclones’ paths so we can stay out of them. Next week we’ll be back with Kim and Matt to chat about climate change, emergency preparation – for any disaster occasion –, the latest on the government funding drama, if you should trust a waffle house more than a weather person, and literally what is on the horizon in the future. Also: cows. Read Matt Lanza’s tropical weather forecasts at <a href="https://theeyewall.com/" target="_blank">The Eyewall</a> and Houston-based forecasts at <a href="https://spacecityweather.com/" target="_blank">Space City Weather</a>Follow Matt Lanza on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mattlanzawx/?hl=en" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mattlanza.bsky.social" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>Visit Dr. Wood’s <a href="https://kouya.has.arizona.edu/">website</a> and follow them on <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=16yNCisAAAAJ&hl=en" target="_blank">Google Scholar</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/drkimwood.bsky.social" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>Donations went to the <a href="https://cftexashillcountry.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=4201" target="_blank">Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country's Kerr County Flood Relief Fund</a> and <a href="https://www.thetrevorproject.org/" target="_blank">The Trevor Project</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/tempestology">More episode sources and links</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/meteorology">Meteorology (WEATHER & CLIMATE)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/oceanology">Oceanology (OCEANS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/nephology">Nephology (CLOUDS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/disasterology">Disasterology (DISASTERS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/fulminology">Fulminology (LIGHTNING)</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" target="_blank">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" target="_blank">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies" target="_blank">TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" target="_blank">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/" target="_blank">Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" target="_blank">Kelly R.
