A hurricane is not made out of wind . . . a hurricane is made from warm air currents and air moisture, and creates highs winds.
If the wind is blowing in you face, then the center of the hurricane is to your right.
The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 74 mph.
There is little to no wind in the eye of a hurricane because all of the wind is circling around the eye of the hurricane. If there was wind in the middle of a hurricane, then it wouldn't really be a hurricane. It would just be a bunch of wind in one spot.
Hurricane Andrew was more intense than Hurricane Irene in terms of wind speed and damage. Andrew struck South Florida as a Category 5 hurricane in 1992 with wind speeds of 165 mph, causing catastrophic damage. In comparison, Irene made landfall in North Carolina in 2011 as a Category 1 hurricane with wind speeds of 85 mph, causing significant but less severe damage.
A sustained wind speed of 103 mph would earn a hurricane a rating of category 2.
Wind shear is one of the most critical factors in controlling or even destroying hurricane formation, the more wind, the more powerful the hurricane. Conversely, if the wind is blowing in the opposite direction of the hurricane, it can slow it down or destroy it.
It made landfall in the Bahamas, Florida (where Hurricane Andrew was at it's peak intensity), and New Orleans. These places were hit the hardest. Other places were skimmed by the very outer wind bands of Hurricane Andrew.
A hurricane is a "named storm". If you do not have a named storm exclusion then your wind coverage will cover hurricane damage.
Hurricane Rita reached maximum sustained wind speeds of 180 mph when it was classified as a Category 5 hurricane.
Hurricane Sandy has peak sustained wind of 110 mph.
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be considered a hurricane is 74 mph.
Hurricane Katrina never came anywhere near Australia. It hit the United States.
