130 km/h at the outer...? Hurricanes can involve winds in excess of 130 km/h at the outer edge.

Make a crude estimate of the energy of such a hurricane, approximating it as a rigidly rotating uniform cylinder of air (density 1.3 kg/m^3) of radius 90 km and height 5.0 km.

Make a crude estimate of the angular momentum of such a hurricane.

Thank you for your help!
