How many hours are given in a hurricane warning before it actually hits?
It depends. For storms that form relatively quickly, the warning period may be a few hours, but thankfully most storms are not like that.

However, hurricane warnings are usually issued after hurricane watches, which specify a period of 24-36 hours from the issuing of the warning to the onset of hurricane conditions.
