A hurricane can affect a large area, with the most intense impacts typically being felt within about 50-100 miles of the storm's center. However, effects such as strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surge can extend hundreds of miles from the core of the storm, impacting a wide region.

Do hurricane force winds affect a much larger area than storm surge?

Hurricane force winds can affect a larger area than storm surge, as they extend outwards from the center of the storm.
