The category of a hurricane is based on its wind speed. A category 1 hurricane has maximum sustained winds in the range of 74 to 95 miles per hour. A category 2 hurricanes has winds of 96 to 110 miles per hour.
A hurricane's rotational speed must be at least 74mph(120km/h) to be called a hurricane, anything less and it is a tropical storm or depression. A hurricane can travel from a stationary position to speeds in excess of 70 mph depending on the upper level steering current winds. Most move about 15-30 mph.
Hurricane Bill was a hurricane, that formed in August 15, 2009 and dissipated in August 24, 2009. With wind speeds up to 135 miles an hour, Bill was a category 4 hurricane................S0 1 H0P3 TH4T H3LP3D
If HURREVAC indicates a 15% probability of hurricane winds at landfall expected in 72 hours, it suggests that there is a low likelihood of significant hurricane impacts for your community. While it's important to remain vigilant and prepared, the odds suggest that the majority of scenarios will not result in hurricane-force winds. Therefore, you can be reasonably confident that your community will likely experience only minimal effects, if any, from the hurricane. However, always stay informed and follow local emergency management updates.
varies GREATLY with location altitude. I would throw a guess out there and say that at any second wind speeds anywhere on this planet are from 0MPH to 150MPH, here in Oxnard, CA, USA right now Wednesday November 4 2009 at 2:15 pm the windspeed is West at 17MPH
Hurricane Katrina made landfall in the United States on August 29, 2005, with maximum sustained winds of around 125 mph (200 km/h) and a forward speed of about 15-20 mph (24-32 km/h).
The first hurricane to impact Norfolk, Virginia, in 1954 was Hurricane Hazel. It made landfall on October 15, 1954, causing significant damage and flooding in the region. Hazel was one of the most powerful hurricanes of the 1954 Atlantic hurricane season and is remembered for its intense winds and heavy rainfall.
Extrely high winds. They not only destroy structures with wind, but turn ordinary objects into projectiles. The winds also create a "storm surge", where the winds pile water up and cause flooding- as deep as 15 feet more than usual high tides.
Hurricane hazel occured in 1954 october 8-15 : P
The Winds of War was created on 1971-11-15.
Winds of the Wasteland was created on 1936-06-15.
Generally, 15 mph winds are not strong enough to blow down a well-constructed house. However, the impact of wind on a house depends on various factors such as the design, construction materials, and structural integrity of the house. It is always important to ensure that a house is built to withstand the typical wind speeds in its location.
