Yes, hurricanes have to have a wind speed of at least 74 MPH in order to be classified as such.
Winds in a hurricane must be at least 74 mph. Winds near 200 mph have been observed.
No, 39 mph is the minimum for a tropical storm. In order to be a hurricane a tropical cyclone must have winds of at least 74 mph.
A tropical cyclone must have sustained winds of at least 74 mph to be considered a hurricane. The average hurricane probably has winds close to 100 mph. The fastest winds recorded in a hurricane were 190 mph, though there is evidence of wind just over 200 mph.
To be considered a hurricane a tropical storm must produces sustained winds of at least 74 mph. The highest reliably recorded sustained winds in a tropical cyclone (hurricane or typhoon) were 195 mph. Gusts have been measured to 253 mph.
To be officially classified as a hurricane, a storm must have a sustained wind speed of at least 64 knots (119 km/hr or 74 mph).
Winds in a hurricane must be at least 74 mph. Winds near 200 mph have been observed.
The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 74 mph.
No, 39 mph is the minimum for a tropical storm. In order to be a hurricane a tropical cyclone must have winds of at least 74 mph.

To be considered a hurricane a tropical storm must produces sustained winds of at least 74 mph. The highest reliably recorded sustained winds in a tropical cyclone (hurricane or typhoon) were 195 mph. Gusts have been measured to 253 mph.
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be called a hurricane is 74 mph.
To qualify as a hurricane a tropical cyclone must have sustained winds is at at least 74 mph.
To be officially classified as a hurricane, a storm must have a sustained wind speed of at least 64 knots (119 km/hr or 74 mph).
To be classified as a hurricane, a tropical cyclone needs sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour (119 kilometers per hour). This is the minimum threshold for a storm to be designated as a hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
In order to be considered a hurricane a tropical cyclone must have winds of at least 74 mph.
A tropical cyclone must have maximum sustained winds of at least 74 mph to be considered a hurricane.
75mphOnce a tropical storm has a wind speed of 74 mph it is officially a hurricane so 74 is the lowest wind speed for a hurricane.
