The term "102 mph Hanna" likely refers to a weather phenomenon, specifically a hurricane or tropical storm. In the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, a hurricane with sustained winds of 102 mph falls into Category 2, which is classified as having winds ranging from 96 to 110 mph. This category indicates the potential for significant damage, including the possibility of uprooted trees and damage to roofs and poorly constructed buildings.
Hurricane Hanna is categorized as a Category 1 hurricane, which means it has sustained winds of 74-95 mph.
Category 1: 74-95 mph Category 2: 96-110 mph Category 3: 111-129 mph Category 4: 130-156 mph Category 5: 157+ mph
Hurricane categories are determined by a storm's maximum 1-minute sustained wind speed. Category 1: 75-95 mph Category 2: 96-110 mph Category 3: 111-129 mph Category 4: 130-156 mph Category 5: 157 mph or greater. There is no Category 6.
Technically there are only five categories of hurricane strength. The other levels are for systems of less than hurricane strength. These categories are determined by sustained wind speed. Below hurricane strength Tropical Depression: 38 mph or less. Tropical Storm: 39-73 mph Hurricanes Category 1: 74-95 mph Category 2: 96-110 mph Category 3: 111-129 mph Category 4: 130-156 mph Category 5: 157 mph or greater.
A hurricane with 120 mph winds would be classified as a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Category 3 hurricanes are considered major hurricanes and have the potential to cause extensive damage.
Hurricane Hanna is categorized as a Category 1 hurricane, which means it has sustained winds of 74-95 mph.
It was a category 1 hurricane.
The category of a hurricane is determined by wind speeds. A category 1 hurricane has winds of 74-95 mph. A category 2 : 96-110 mph. A category 3 : 111-130 mph A category 4 : 131-155 mph A category 5: over 155 mph.
Category 1: 74-95 mph Category 2: 96-110 mph Category 3: 111-130 mph Category 4: 131-155 mph Category 5: 156+ mph
Category 1: 74-95 mph Category 2: 96-110 mph Category 3: 111-129 mph Category 4: 130-156 mph Category 5: over 156 mph.
