Yes. The minimum wind speed for a tropical system to be considered a hurricane is 74 miles per hour, and that is sustained wind. Gusts will be stronger. Hurricanes with sustained winds up to 200 miles per hour have been observed. Strong winds often cover an area hundreds of miles across. Hurricanes also generate large ocean waves and drive the sea onto land in what is called a storm surge.
