    And the title is hilarious. What should we call balls this size?? We don’t have a name for it! We need a new name for it!!

    Imagine if hurricanes had different names for different speeds instead of Cat N. This is a horse speed hurricane. This is a cheetah speed hurricane. This one is 2.5 bullet train hurricane.

      You do realize hurricane categories are pretty arbitrary and certainly not metric.
