I asked chat gpt how many Xangsanes would it take to power a hurricane Helene.
> If we're comparing Typhoon Xangsane (2006) and Hurricane Helene (2006), we can look at their respective power and energy outputs to get an idea.
TDLR: It would take a single Xangsane.

Typhoon Xangsane (2006):
- Xangsane reached a peak intensity equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane, with winds around 150 mph (240 km/h).
- Its energy would be calculated based on wind speed, size, and duration.
Hurricane Helene (2006):
- Hurricane Helene also peaked as a Category 3 hurricane, with winds of 125 mph (205 km/h).
Energy Comparison Approach:
- If we take ACE values: Xangsane had an ACE of about 20 units, while Helene had about 18 units.
- So, in terms of energy output over their lifetimes, 1 Xangsane would be roughly equal to or slightly more powerful than 1 Helene.
TDLR: It would take a single Xangsane.
