By definition it is a hurricane.
A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with winds of 74 mph or more.
a hurricane is a large spinning storm that has winds over 117 kilometers (73 miles) per hour
No. That would be a category 5 hurricane.
wind speeds over 74 miles per hour are possible. in a hurricane winds can get up to 100 miles an hour!
The weakest tornadoes have estimated winds of 65 mph (105 km/h); this is a low end EF0. The very strongest are believed to have winds just over 300 mph (480 km/h); this is a strong EF5. A tornado this strong is extremely rare. The most damage is caused by tornadoes rated EF3 and higher, with estimated winds over 135 mph (217 km/h).
In Hurricane Katrina, winds got as high as 175 miles per hour. It caused over 100 billion dollars in damage.
Hurricane Camille had the strongest hurriane wids ever. With winds so strong it destroyed all the on shore wind equiptment. The true winds in Camille will never be known. But it is etimated to have winds of over 200 miles per hour. Along with that it had a surge of 25 feet. It killed 256 people.
Hurricane winds decrease faster over land.
That is a hurricane.
Tornadoes. Peak tornado winds are estimated at over 300 mph. The strongest hurricane winds are about 200 mph.
Wind speeds can vary greatly, from 40 miles per hour, all the way up to 300 miles per hour.
Hurricanes wind speeds are measured up by Categories on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (SSHS). The highest, a Category 5 Hurricane, is for substain winds reaching 155 MPH or higher. Hurricane Camile had speeds of over 210 mph. Keep in mind we don't exactly know the limit of how strong a hurricane can get.
