Science News-How much does a Hurricane weigh??

Wondering how much does water does it have in a cloud?
Based on the video- http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2010/09/23/130078553/a-hurricane-weighs-how-much 
It has tons of water, it is filled with it but it depends on the size of the cloud to see how much pounds does it weigh. For example, a cloud can be weighed up to 216,000 (2/3 of a whale), and maybe more!!In addition, you would see molecules pushing up the clouds but usually it is invisible for people to see.As long as there are molecules or the air pushing up, the water will stay up there because it doesn't have enough power to push the air down. That is mainly how a puffy white cloud is.
Therefore, one of the stormy dark clouds can weigh up to 105.8 million pounds, way more than the puffy white clouds and one whale, of course!!
Between all of that, don't you think hurricanes weigh more than that? Well, of course it does!! It can be started as 108 BILLION POUNDS!!! Inside all that hurricane weight, it is about 360,000 blue whales, more than how much whales it has in this planet!!
Hurricanes absorbs water from somewhere and drop it into some other planet.
Compare the weight of a hurricane to yourself!!! Isn't there a huge difference?



I think it is also important to know about how much hurricanes weigh and gain more knowledge about it because hurricanes can blow almost anything away. For instance, a truck, people, and etc. mainly because a hurricane is so powerful and you can compare it to a whale too. We never know who can actually make it through a hurricane because the Earth is not operated in humans' hands, but hopefully we all will survive and make the best out of life.

Non-Carbon Base is not possible

I am a carbon person, I think carbon is too special mainly because it can do stuff that silicon can't. An article states that other elements may form complex, covalently bonded structures, and nothing else has the rich molecular of the variety of carbon.

Metric System

I think they should use the metric system because the NASA group could try another way to succeed instead of failing unlike several years ago.
Another reason is because other parts of the world are using the metric system too so the US should try a new thing to see if it would work.

Goals

My goal this year is to get good grades like As and Bs from my own knowledge.
Another goal is that I have to make new friends and enjoy my freshman year in high school.
My last goal is to always get my homework done and don't procrastinate that much at home when doing my homework or studying.
I also have to join the tennis team maybe next year and a service club at the end of the year.
