By definition it is a hurricane.
A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with winds of 74 mph or more.
A violent rotating windstorm spawned by a thunderstorm is a tornado.
No. That would be a category 5 hurricane.
It varies considerably. A tropical storm must have sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour to be considered a hurricane. Hurricanes with sustained winds has high as 200 miles per hour have been observed, along with stronger gusts.
wind speeds over 74 miles per hour are possible. in a hurricane winds can get up to 100 miles an hour!
The fastest sustained hurricane winds on record were 190 mph. On gust was recorded to 253 mph.
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 speeds can vary, but on average they move at about 10-20 miles per hour (16-32 kilometers per hour). However, the speed can increase to over 100 miles per hour (160 kilometers per hour) in the most intense hurricanes.
The categorization of hurricanes is not based on how fast they travel, but on how fast the sustained winds within a hurricane move at their fastest. A category 5 hurricane has winds of 156 mph or greater.
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.
A hurricane is a large storm system characterized by strong winds reaching speeds of 74 miles per hour or more. It forms over warm ocean waters and has the potential to cause widespread damage through high winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, and flooding.
A storm is considered a hurricane when it is a large scale cyclone with tropical characteristics and sustained winds of at least 74 mph.
