Can a hurricane lift a human?
The winds of a strong enough hurricane could blow a person away but could not lift a person up as the winds at ground level in a hurricane are mostly horizontal.
What was the front of Hurricane Katrina?
The front of Hurricane Katrina refers to the leading edge of the storm system as it approached land. It was characterized by strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surge, which is a rise in sea level caused by the hurricane's low pressure and strong winds. The front of Hurricane Katrina made landfall on August 29, 2005, causing widespread devastation along the Gulf Coast of the United States.
How long does it take for a hurricane to form from a thunderstorm?
A hurricane does not form from a single thunderstorm. A tornado does. Often a thunderstorm has upper-level rotation for at least half an hour or more before producing a tornado, however, some storms develop and become tornadic in less than 15 minutes.Hurricanes form from large, usually disorganized clusters of storms. It may take days for these clusters of storms to organize intro a tropical depression (tropical cyclone with winds under 39 mph). It will usually be several more days before such a system reaches hurricane strength (winds of at least 74 mph).

What are the heavy waves caused by the hurricane called?
They are actually called a Storm Surge, and it is due to the low pressure associated with a hurruicane which causes a rise in sea surface level which is then whipped up by the strong hurricane force winds. (Rip tides, or rip currents, are strong surface currents flowing seaward from a shore in some places, and are not generally associated with hurricanes.)
What is the pressure at the center of a hurricane?
The central pressure of the hurricane measures how strong the hurricane is. The lower the pressure is in the center of the hurricane, the higher the winds. If the pressure is very low, it is a very strong hurricane.
