The heights for the hurricanes were calculated by using a metaphorical scaling method that translates the physical size of each hurricane's wind field into an equivalent human height. This approach provides a visual and conceptual way to understand and compare the relative sizes of hurricanes to typical human heights. Here’s the step-by-step process used to calculate these heights:

Step 1: Establish a Baseline for Average​

First, we established the average size of a hurricane’s wind field and its corresponding average human height:

• Average hurricane size (gale-force winds): We approximated this based on a typical range for hurricane wind extents (about 100-150 miles for gale-force winds). We set the midpoint at 125 miles as the baseline representing an average hurricane size.
• Average human height: For females, the average (50th percentile) height was set at 5 feet 4 inches (64 inches). For males, it was set at 5 feet 9 inches (69 inches).

Step 2: Create a Scaling Factor​

To correlate wind field size to human height, a scaling factor was created based on the average figures:

• Scaling factor calculation: Using the average female height as an example, 64 inches / 125 miles = 0.512 inches per mile.

Step 3: Apply the Scaling Factor to Each Hurricane​

For each hurricane, we then applied this scaling factor to its wind field size:

• Calculation example: If a hurricane’s tropical storm-force winds extend 200 miles, the calculation would be 200 miles * 0.512 inches/mile = 102.4 inches. This raw number then needs adjustment to fit within realistic human heights.

Step 4: Adjusting Heights Within Typical Human Ranges​

Given that the raw calculations can exceed typical human heights (e.g., over 8 feet), we adjusted these figures to fit within a realistic range:

• Female height range: Adjusted within 60 inches (5 feet) to 72 inches (6 feet), covering from the 10th to the 95th percentile.
• Male height range: Adjusted within 65 inches (5 feet 5 inches) to 75 inches (6 feet 3 inches), covering from the 10th to the 95th percentile.

Step 5: Categorize Heights Based on Percentiles​

Using these adjusted heights, hurricanes were then categorized:

• Femlet/Manlet: Significantly below average (under 60 inches for females and under 65 inches for males).
• Below Average: Just below the average height.
• Average: Close to 64 inches for females and 69 inches for males.
• Above Average: Slightly taller than average but within typical height ranges.
• Heightmogger: At the upper end of the scale, representing the largest hurricanes (72 inches for females and 75 inches for males).

This method provides a metaphorical way to compare the "size" of hurricanes in a more relatable manner, using human height analogies to visualize their relative extents and impacts.
