Is a force 12 storm on the beaufort scale a hurricane?
No, a force 12 storm on the Beaufort scale is classified as "hurricane force" but does not necessarily mean it is a hurricane. Hurricanes are tropical cyclones that form over warm ocean waters, while a storm reaching force 12 on the Beaufort scale can occur in different weather systems.
What is the name of the hurricane on its way to UK?
The storm on its way to the UK is post-tropical cyclone Katia. Because it has lost tropical characteristics, though the storm is no longer classified as a hurricane even though it is still producing hurricane-force or near hurricane-force winds.
How many miles from a hurricane's center are tropical storm force winds?
That is highly variable and is in fact a measure of the hurricane's size. The radius of tropical storm force winds in a hurricane can be less than 100 miles, to more than 600 miles.
Why does hurricane start out as?
They begin as a storm, and get larger if additional heat energy is added.
Which side of the eye of a hurricane receives the greatest force force from the storm and gets most damage?

What type of storm has the greatest energy hurricane or tornado?
Overall a hurricane has much more energy. Mostly because a hurricane is hundreds of times larger than a tornado.
How far out from a hurricane's center would you generally expect to find tropical storm-force winds?
Tropical storm-force winds typically extend outwards up to 300 miles from the center of a hurricane. However, the size and intensity of the storm can influence the extent of these winds.

The right side of a hurricane's eye wall usually causes the worst damage.
What planet has a hurricane like storm larger than the Earth?
Jupiter I think the red spot. +++ It is.
How does a marsh absorb tornado or hurricane power?
A marsh does not do anything to affect a tornado's destructive potential, but it can reduce the effects of a hurricane. One of the most destructive parts of the impact of a hurricane is the storm surge, where the winds drive seawater onto land. Marshes reduce the storm surge.
Hurricane is to storm as cirrus is?
Hurricane is to storm as cirrus is to cloud.
What is the most unique part of a hurricane?
