00:00Forty-five years ago, the world witnessed the largest storm in recorded history, Typhoon Tip.
00:06At an unbelievable 1,380 miles wide, Tip was bigger than the distance from London to Romania,
00:14swirling over the Pacific Ocean for 20 days.
00:18Fast forward to today, and while Hurricane Milton recently made headlines in Florida,
00:23it wasn't even close to the size of Tip.
00:26But experts warn, this record might not stand for long.
00:30With rising sea temperatures, storms are only getting stronger.
00:35Meteorologist Jim Dale says we're heading in the wrong direction.
00:39Future storms could be even more powerful than what we've ever seen.
00:43And it's not just about size.
00:45Scientists are discussing the possibility of a Category 6 hurricane.
00:50Right now, the scale stops at Category 5.
00:53But future hurricanes may force us to rethink that.
00:57So, while Tip's record still stands, the question is,
01:01how much longer until the next monster storm breaks it?
01:04And are we ready for what's to come?
