A blizzard is a strong winter storm characterized by blowing snow, winds of at least 35 mph, and visibility of less than 1/4 mile. To be considered a blizzard, these conditions must persist for at lest 3 hours.
A hurricane is an intense tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. Hurricanes are organized, rotating storm systems that develop over warm ocean water. They are characterized by powerful winds, torrential rain organized into spiral bands, large waves, a storm surge, and a calm center called an eye.
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Most tornadoes have a visible funnel and often a dust or debris cloud. Compared to other storms, tornadoes are small and short-lived, but very intense. The strongest tornadoes produce the fastest winds on Earth, capable of exceeding 300 mph.
