How strong do hurricanes hit land?
Depends on the hurricane, normally what category it is. For instance, category 5 hurricanes have the fastest wind speeds that hurricanes can get up to. It doesn't depend on size because if you look at Hurricane Andrew, it was tiny compared to some other hurricanes, but being a category 5, it caused a lot of damage, and is now the second costliest hurricane.I said that it normally depends on the category, right? Well, not always. Look at Hurricane Katrina, or Hurricane Mitch. Hurricane Katrina was a category 3 hurricane when it made landfall and is the costliest hurricane of all time. Katrina is more than 3 times as much as Hurricane Andrew! And Hurricane Mitch was only a category 1 when it made landfall! But Mitch caused a great deal of damage from a lot of rain causing mudslides that could bury one's head! So in this case, I think it is where the hurricane strikes, because if Mitch hadn't struck Mexico (I think), then it might have not been so affective. Same thing for Katrina. If she had hit, oh I don't know, Texas, maybe, then it might have not flooded New Orleans!Hope this helped!
