Did hurricane Irene 2011 break worlds most intense hurricane in world records?
No. Not even close. There are two main measures of hurricane intensity: wind speed and barometric pressure. Hurricane Irene is already past its peak of 120 mph winds and a pressure of 942 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm). The strongest Hurricane on record in terms of wind speed was Hurricane Camille at 190 mph. The most intense tropical cyclone (generic term for hurricane, typhoon etc.) on recordwas Typhoon Tip with a pressure of 870 millibars.
What category would a hurricane with 120 mph winds be?
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.
What was the wind speed of 2005 hurricane Katrina when it made land fall?
Hurricane Katrina made three landfalls. At the first landfall in Florida Katrina had sustained winds of 80 mph. At the two landfalls in Louisiana and Mississippi Katrina was a category 3 hurricane with sustained winds of 125 mph and 120 mph respectively.
What is the wind speed for 942 millibars?
The wind speed cannot be determined solely based on the air pressure of 942 millibars. Wind speed is influenced by various factors such as temperature gradients, geographical location, and weather patterns. To estimate wind speed accurately, additional information is needed.
What was the wind speed of hurricane Katrina when it hit new Orleans?
When Katrina's center was closest to New Orleans the storm had sustained winds of 120 mph,making it a category 3 hurricane.
What is the wind speed of hurricane Fred?
120 mph (195 km/h) at the highest speed
What is maximum speed of a hurricane?
Sustained winds of 74 MPH or faster.
What is the wind blowing at 120 km per hour classified as?
Wind blowing at 120 km per hour is classified as a strong wind, typically falling within the range of "gale-force winds." This level of wind speed can cause structural damage and may lead to power outages.

What is faster hurricane or spitfire?
the spitfire is slightly faster but the hurricane had bigger guns which might have slowed it down.
What was the size of hurricane Jeanne?
Hurricane Jeanne was a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of around 120 mph. The storm had a large size with tropical storm force winds extending outward up to 200 miles from its center.
What is a powerful tropical storm that is characterized by wind speeds greater than 120 and storm surges called?
A tropical storm with winds of 120 km/h (75 mph) or greater is called a hurricane.
What is the speed of hurricane Irene?
There have been numerous Hurricane Irenes in history because the name cycles every 6 years and has not yet been retired. Most recently, Hurricane Irene in 2005 topped out at 105 mph.
