No, Oakville is to far inland to be hit by a hurricane. It is possible for it to be affect by the remnants of a hurricane, but by that time they would be no stronger than an ordinary storm system.
When the eye passes the storm is what?
It means the half of the storm has passed. The eye of the storm is the exact center of the hurricane or hurricane-like wind. The storm gets stronger on your way into the eye, but in the eye it is very calm, and it is almost like the storm has stopped. So, if you are ever in a hurricane, and the storm stops abruptly, know that it is the eye of the storm and you need to get back to shelter!Incidentally, with hurricanes that are coming ashore, the back winds are often stronger than the leading edge, and often contain much more debris.

That is highly variable and is in fact a measure of the hurricane's size. The radius of tropical storm force winds in a hurricane can be less than 100 miles, to more than 600 miles.
Why is a typhoon stronger than a hurricane?
A typhoon is not stronger than a hurricane. The only difference is where they form. The strength of the storm depends upon the temperature of the oceans over which they form. Generally, the warmer the water, the more intense the storm.

Which is stronger cyclone hurricane typhoon or tornado?
A hurricane and a typhoon are the same strength, as they are the same type of storm only occurring in different regions. They are a kind of cyclone. Overall, a hurricane or typhoon is stronger than other varieties of cyclone. Due to their large size, such cyclone will release more energy than a tornado, but a tornado has stronger winds.

Why was there a storm surge for hurricane sandy?
Hurricane Sandy produced a storm surge for the same reason that all other landfalling hurricanes do. The large area of strong winds from a hurricane essentially pushes the seawater onto land. Although other hurricanes have had far stronger winds than Sandy, that storm's extremely large wind field produced a high storm surge, which was made even worse as it was funnel up Long Island Sound.
