Plain, air-popped corn has relatively little impact on blood sugar levels. Popcorn is a feel-good snack strongly associated with relaxing, watching movies and escapism. If you donât drench the popped kernels in butter or processed toppings, itâs also a fairly low-calorie snack. Popcornâs glycemic index, which is a measure of how much a food impacts blood sugar levels, can fall on the lower side of the spectrum, depending on the brand and how itâs made.
(A typhoon is the same thing as a hurricane, just in a different part of the world.). There are known records for wind speeds that outstrip anything ever measured in a hurricane. The fastest regular wind that's widely agreed upon was 231 mph, recorded at Mount Washington, New Hampshire, on April 12, 1934.
Tropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds of less than 39 miles per hour (mph) are called tropical depressions. Those with maximum sustained winds of 39 mph or higher are called tropical storms. When a storm's maximum sustained winds reach 74 mph, it is called a hurricane. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating, or category, based on a hurricane's maximum sustained winds. The higher the category, the greater the hurricane's potential for property damage.
