Could a hurricane's winds topple Lady of Liberty Statue of Liberty in New York City?
No. While an extremely powerful hurricane might cause some damage the structure itself would not collapse even in a category 5 hurricane, which is extremely unlikely if not impossible that far north.
How does a hurricane get retired?
Hurricanes are assigned names from a list (the list varies depending on the region). Usually the list gets recycled a few years later, but a particularly destructive or noteworthy hurricane will usually have its name retired so that there's no confusion about which particular "Hurricane Andrew" is meant. (It's unlikely that anyone other than a meteorological historian would bother talking about a hurricane that didn't cause any damage several years after the fact.)
What category would a hurricane with 120 mph winds be?
A hurricane with sustained winds of 122 mph would be a category 3.
Is the west side of a hurricane the worst?
Not necessarily. Generally the right side of a hurricane is worst. Since hurricanes spin counterclockwise the wind speed on the right side of the hurricane is equal to the speed the hurricane is spinning plus its forward speed. So if a hurricane is spinning at 90 mph and traveling at 10 mph, areas on the right side of the storm would experience 100 mph winds. The stronger winds also lead to a higher storm surge. Because of this the west side of a hurricane would be worst if it were traveling south. If the storm is traveling north, which is somewhat more common, then the east side is worse.
Do you go to the roof when a hurricane is coming?
No. Because of the strong winds the roof would be a very dangerous place to be in a hurricane. If a hurricane is coming you usually have a few days warning in which case you should evacuate areas near the shore or that might experience flooding. If it is a particularly strong storm you should evacuate altogether. Aside from that you should stay inside.
What 4 states that would not be affected by a hurricane?
Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah .
Will the Hurricane that is over Mexico Hit The UK?
IF you are referring to Hurricane Karl, that storm has already dissipated. It is unlikely that a hurricane would hit both Mexico and the UK.
What would happen if a major hurricane affects the spill area?
Depending on how far the typhoon / hurricane travels the oil will be spread over a wider area but as such and event like this is very unlikely I would suggest that you don't worry about it.

Can you get weekends in jail if it is your third breach of probation?
I would never say "never," but from my experience, I would say it would be highly unlikely - especially after your thirdVOP.
Is it possible to have a Hurricane in Minnesota?
Absolutely Not, By the time it moved inward over land it would dicipate (breakup), even an extremely strong hurricane wouldn't move inward that far and it might send some showers that way but very very unlikely.
Which state would have the coldest weather Idaho or Georgia?
IDAHO
Can hurricane hit Kunming?
In the China area Hurricanes are called Typhoons. (so no, strictly a Hurricane could not hit Kunming). As regards a Typhoon, Kunming is quite a way inland from the sea and as the energy which powers a Typhoon (or Hurricane) comes form the sea, the strength of the storm would have dissipated by the time the centre came over Kunming (it would probably not be strong enough to be classified as a Typhoon by then). Therefore it is unlikely that a full power Typhoon would hit Kunming.
What is the shoshone word to say Idaho?
