By the mid-28th century, runaway climate change, nuclear war and catastrophic supervolcanic eruptions had caused the amount of hurricanes to increase. The 2776 Atlantic hurricane season was a notable example, shattering even the records of 2005 and 2012, with 50 storms. Hypercane Cara, Hurricane Yolanda and Super Hypercane Mu were the strongest storms, both reaching windspeeds past Category 5 status. Hypercane Cara was originally a small tropical storm, but when it passed over an undersea volcano, it became a hypercane. It impacted the US East Coast, killing millions and causing unprecedented damage to the country's economy. The whole storm is probably connected to global warming and climate change, due to its windspeeds, height and width. The storm reached a symbolic width of 1,776 miles
