How much does a hurricane weight

a hurricane weights a lot, more than you might expect. it also covers a large area. Hurricanes weights billions of elephants  or thousands of blue whales. Hurricane Rita was weighed by Charles Crowson weighed 10 billion elephants and about 2.5 billions blue whales. the hurricane weighed about 6.67 times heavier than a thunderstorm. A hurricane is very different most clouds in it are unique some are full with water while others are full with ice. a hurricane carries  a lot of water too, Rita contained about 10 billion elephants weight of water. The hurricane also covered 45 square miles. Hurricanes are really big and weight a lot.
