Charles Dickens was called “human hurricane” due to his genius and great spirit.

His friends gave him the nickname “human hurricane” as they all brushed aside their ordinary habits and occupations whenever he came to see them. One of his friends, Mrs. Fields, stated that all these habits and occupations were brushed aside until “human hurricane had swept by… The sense of genius could not be more forcibly felt then in the hurrying flight of this great spirit”.
