Yes. The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 119 km/h. Some hurricanes have had measured winds in excess of 300 km/h.
The fastest winds on earth occur in tornadoes. In extreme cases they can exceed 300 mph.
The highest winds in a hurricane are typically found in the eyewall surrounding the eye of the storm. Wind speeds can exceed 160 miles per hour in this region, making it the most intense part of the hurricane.
The strongest winds in a hurricane are typically found near the eyewall, which is the ring of clouds and thunderstorms surrounding the eye of the storm. Here, winds can exceed 150 mph and are associated with the most intense rainfall and storm surge.
A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when its sustained winds reach or exceed 74 mph (119 km/h). This increase in wind speed marks the transition from a tropical storm to a hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
Hurricane force winds are 74 mph or greater.
Yes. When A tropical storm's winds reach or exceed 119 km/h it is considered a hurricane.

winds of a hurricane can exceed of 200 mph like back in 1969 Hurricane Camille had winds up to that much that wiped out new Orleans it killed 259 peoples in it path directly from the storm
Yes and no. A hurricane is a type of cyclone, but is the most powerful variety. A hurricane is defined as a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. While a few other types of cyclone have achieved winds comparable to those of a category 1 hurricane, hurricane winds can exceed 150 mph. Only a few other types of winds event can produce such winds (such as tornadoes and microbursts), but non of those quite qualify as cyclones. Gay no one cares about this crap
A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when its sustained winds reach or exceed 74 mph (119 km/h). This increase in wind speed marks the transition from a tropical storm to a hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
The worst winds in a hurricane is inside the eye of the hurricane.
The strongest winds of a hurricane are in the eye wall.
The winds of a hurricane must be at least 119 km/h.
A category 4 hurricane changes to a category 5 when its sustained wind speeds exceed 156 mph. The National Hurricane Center classifies hurricanes based on their sustained wind speeds, with category 5 being the most severe on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Such a hurricane would be a category 5 as would any hurricane with winds over 156 mph. However, no hurricane has been confirmed to have such winds. It has been suggested that Hurricane Camille may have had such winds, but we don't really know as that storm destroyed all wind instruments in its path.
