Interestingly, the storm Known as Allison never became a hurricane, but peaked as tropical storm with 60 mph winds. A storm must have winds of at least 74 mph to be a hurricane.
Despite not being a very strong storm, Allison produce heavy flooding from from rain. It is the only Atlantic storm to have its name retire that did not become a hurricane.
The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 74 mph.
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be considered a hurricane is 74 mph.
Wind speed is the speed at which air moves from one place to another. Wind speed is a critical factor in determining the intensity of a hurricane, as higher wind speeds are associated with more powerful and destructive storms. Hurricane categories are based on the maximum sustained wind speed of the storm.
the wind speed was very fast to fast for scientists
Hurricanes are categorized based on their wind speeds, with a minimal wind speed of 74 mph (119 km/h) needed to be classified as a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. As the wind speeds increase, hurricanes are classified into higher categories (2-5) based on their sustained wind speeds.

The wind speed of Hurricane Sandy was measured to be about 110 mph at peak intensity.
Hurricane Sandy has peak sustained wind of 110 mph.
