Superstorm (BNWC)

According to the Bob Nekaro Weather Center, a Superstorm is a type of large subtropical or extratropical cyclone with winds in excess of 75 mph. Superstorms are often hybrid cyclones that display both characteristics of tropical and extratropical storms.

Some systems designated by the NHC as hurricanes are superstorms, while some designated as extratropical cyclones are also superstorms.

Examples of Superstorms
One of the most notable superstorms was Superstorm Sandy of 2012, which transitioned from a hurricane to a superstorm near the Bahamas.

Another notable Superstorm was Colindana of 2022, which was the result of a Fujiwhara interaction between Antihurricane Colin and Hurricane Dana.
