At peak intensity, Hurricane Isabel had sustained winds of 165 mph.
a hurricane is a cyclone that gets i s force from wind and water.
The speed of the wind does this.

Hurricane strength is usually determined by the maximum sustained wind speed of a hurricane. This is usually measured with an anemometer.
A wind of 64 to 71 knots is a hurricane force wind.
The Coriolis force determines the direction of wind spiraling in a hurricane. In the Northern Hemisphere, winds spiral counterclockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they spiral clockwise.
The deadliest force in a hurricane is its storm surge, which is a bulge of seawater formed by the wind and low pressure. This can cause major flooding when it hits land. Mots hurricane deaths are from drowning.
Wind is a powerful natural force that cannot be protected by carbon units called humans.

A hurricane is defined as a tropical cyclone with sustained winds in excess of 119 km/h, which was set as the threshold for hurricane-force winds on the Beaufort wind scale.
If the wind is blowing in you face, then the center of the hurricane is to your right.
With hurricane winds stretching 90 miles from the center and tropical storm force winds stretching 290, downgraded Irene is still proving its strength.
