when the ocean heats up it forms a hurricane
A category 1 hurricane in the weakest hurricane, with winds up to 95 mph. The strongest is a category 5 hurricane.
It took 6 days for hurricane Donna to get cleaned up.
Strong winds that is called the wall. It is the most dangerous part of the hurricane and is made up of heavy clouds. The wind speed in this area of the hurricane blows up to 250km/h
measures up to a mile wide
There are 1760 yards in a mile The average diameter of a hurricane's hurricane-force winds is 100 miles. That makes it 176000 yards across. (Note the slower winds can be up to 400 miles across.)
measures up to mile long.
A tornado that stays on the ground for about 2 miles is common. The average path length is about 5 miles. However, a mile wide tornado is rare. The vast majority of tornadoes are well under a mile wide.
The maximum winds of a hurricane are less than a tornado. However there are a lot of things to consider. (1) Hurricanes can last for days. (2) Hurricanes bring flooding from rain and tidal surge. (3) Hurricanes do a lot of wind damage. (4) A tornado might cover a path up to a mile wide and travel for many miles. A hurricane may cover several hundred miles wide and travel for thousands of miles. (5) One very big problem with hurricanes is that they may spawn many tornados which magnifies the damage.
Up to 15,000 meters
1 mile = 5280 feet
on coastline they erode beaches and in land they flood with whats known as a storm surge and depending on the category they start at 75 mile per hour windspeed and a category 5 is capable of up to 200 mile per hour winds one has never been recorded at this speed but its believed the early 1900s hurricane of galveston was exceeding 200 mile per hour winds.
The valley is up to a mile deep in some areas. In terms of width, it is about 8 miles wide.

It varies. The average tornado is 50 yards wind, but some are under 10 yards wide. Very large tornadoes can be up to a mile wide or more at the ground. The widest tornado ever recorded was 2.6 miles wide.
