The newly identified natural phenomenon is the result of powerful storms transferring some of the vast amounts of energy that they produce into the Earth's crust.

"The climate crisis is feeding monster hurricanes that bring suffering and death to some of our nation's most vulnerable wildlife," the author of a new report said.

Scientists simulated a hypothetical but physically plausible storm dubbed "Hurricane Rhody" that makes landfall twice in an area that FEMA has called the "Achilles' heel of the Northeast."

In general, extreme weather events are expected to become more frequent and intense, as global temperatures warm

"The weather affects every place on the Earth, from our backyard to entire forested, agricultural, or oceanic landscapes," an expert told "Newsweek."

Tom Golisano—founder of payroll and human resources company Paychex—is estimated to have a net worth of around $3.1 billion, according to Forbes.

Experts say that the strange purple skies are the result of light from the sun being scattered in a particular way by hurricane storm clouds.

"Our thoughts are with the people and biodiversity in this tragedy," Diana Bell—a professor of Conservation a Biology—said

"There is immense energy in a hurricane which can cause very frequent lightning strikes," Met Office spokesperson Oliver Claydon told "Newsweek."

The storm equaled the record for the most powerful Atlantic hurricane ever to make landfall in the Bahamas, tying with the Labor Day hurricane of 1935.

"If it works, it's totally worth it," said Brittany Vidal, who lives in the Davis Shores neighborhood of St. Augustine, Florida.
