There is no such thing as an F4 hurricane. F4 is a rating applied to tornadoes. Initially winds for an F4 tornado were estimated at 207 to 261 mph. However, this has since been found to bee too high and adjusted to 166 to 200 mph for an EF4 tornado.
A category 4 hurricane has sustained winds of 130 to 156 mph.

A hurricane is a "storm with high winds and rain". You might want to be a bit more specific.Or not. Maybe you mean one of "tropical storm", "typhoon", "gale" (though strictly speaking that just means high winds).

The worst winds in a hurricane is inside the eye of the hurricane.
Category 1 (the lowest) for a hurricane is winds of 74-95 miles an hour.
At peak intensity Hurricane Irma has sustained winds of 185 miles per hour.
Winds rush towards hurricane areas due to the pressure difference between the high-pressure system surrounding the hurricane and the lower pressure within the storm. Air moves from high pressure to low pressure, creating strong winds that spiral towards the center of the hurricane.
Hurricane Irene currently has sustained winds of 105 mph with gusts to 115.
The worst risk from Hurricane Sandy if you live in New York City is high winds against high rise buildings, and high winds against high rises with all glass.
