False - the strongest hurricanes have pressures a little bit under 900mb (average sea level pressure is 1013mb).

Can hurricanes and tornadoes both spin around a center of low pressure?
It is not just a manner that they can, but that they always do. Both hurricanes and tornadoes involve wind rotating around and being drawn toward a low pressure center.
Do hurricanes and tornadoes both spin around a center of low air pressure?
Yes.
What type of pressure system are hurricanes and how do the winds move around hurricanes?
Hurricanes are low pressure systems as are all storm systems. In a hurricane the low pressure draws air inward. The Coriolis effect, a consequence of earth's spin gives the air its own spin. Since the term hurricane applies to a tropical cyclone in the northern hemisphere the rotation will be counterclockwise.
What does decreasing air pressure indicate?
Hurricanes are large circular storms that are formed over warm ocean water. Hurricanes have winds that have a speed of 75 mph or more. The picture to the left shows a hurricane. Notice that the storm circulates around a central point in the center of the storm. This central point is called the eye of the storm. Hurricanes form over the warm water of the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. They are most common during the summer months of August and September.
Are there hurricanes in Denmark?
No. Hurricanes are a tropical phenomenon. The waters around Denmark are too cold to support hurricanes.
What pressure systems do hurricanes form around?
low pressure

It is not just a manner that they can, but that they always do. Both hurricanes and tornadoes involve wind rotating around and being drawn toward a low pressure center.
What are the wind speeds in the eye of the hurricanes?
On the contrairy, the eye is the calmest part of the hurricane. Normally the strongest part of the hurricane is the eye wall that is around the eye. The eye is the center of the entier low pressure system and the winds spiral toward it.

Why does hurricanes go over land?
Hurricanes don't actually aim for land. They area around a hurricane has very low pressure. The pressure systems, both high and low, will steer the hurricane. High pressure will keep the hurricane away. Usually, land just gets in the way.
Where is the field around a magnet strongest?
Where is the magnetic field around a magnet strongest? Answer: A magnetic field is strongest around the poles. Your welcome! :)
Are cyclones formed and high air pressure?
Cyclones, Hurricanes, and Typhoons (different names for the same type of storm) form around low pressure zones above warm ocean water.
Are there hurricanes in Denmark?
No. Hurricanes are a tropical phenomenon. The waters around Denmark are too cold to support hurricanes.
What are cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean?
Hurricanes and typhoons are the same weather phenomenon tropical cyclones and In the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific, the term hurricane is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a typhoon.
Where and when do hurricanes begin?
A Hurricane is exactly the same as a Cyclone. Cyclones are in the East Indies (Indonesia & thereabouts) & Hurricanes are in the West Indies, the Carribean & the Gulf of Mexico. It is a huge depression in low pressure with massively high winds rotating around the centre.
