Bigger the hurricane the more intense?

Yes, the size of a hurricane can be related to its intensity, but intensity is primarily measured by the storm's maximum sustained wind speed, central pressure, and potential for storm surge, not just its physical size. A larger hurricane may have a wider area of impact, affecting more people and causing more damage, but a smaller hurricane with very high wind speeds can be equally or even more intense in terms of destructive power.
