Wind effects the Hurricanes because wind is what makes the hurricanes spiral in a column of air. With warm air coming through the eye of the hurricane and cold air already spiraling in the hurricane.
A sustained wind speed of 103 mph would earn a hurricane a rating of category 2.
The wind speed is 74-95 mph in a category one hurricane.
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be called a hurricane is 74 mph.
You may be able to find a journal record of no wind on a very rare date on the Antarctic continent.
Sustained winds of a category 2 hurricane are 96-110 mph.
Wind shear is one of the most critical factors in controlling or even destroying hurricane formation, the more wind, the more powerful the hurricane. Conversely, if the wind is blowing in the opposite direction of the hurricane, it can slow it down or destroy it.
Flooding, Wind, Rain
If the wind is blowing in you face, then the center of the hurricane is to your right.
The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 74 mph.
Well force does affect as energy (Strength) of the wind/something forcing it pushes something forward and backwards like a hurricane.
There is little to no wind in the eye of a hurricane because all of the wind is circling around the eye of the hurricane. If there was wind in the middle of a hurricane, then it wouldn't really be a hurricane. It would just be a bunch of wind in one spot.
A hurricane is not made out of wind . . . a hurricane is made from warm air currents and air moisture, and creates highs winds.
A sustained wind speed of 103 mph would earn a hurricane a rating of category 2.
A hurricane is a "named storm". If you do not have a named storm exclusion then your wind coverage will cover hurricane damage.
Hurricane Rita reached maximum sustained wind speeds of 180 mph when it was classified as a Category 5 hurricane.
Hurricane Sandy has peak sustained wind of 110 mph.
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be considered a hurricane is 74 mph.
