Yes, hurricanes are a type of tropical storm. Specifically, hurricanes are classified as tropical cyclones that have sustained winds of 74 miles per hour (119 kilometers per hour) or higher. Tropical storms, on the other hand, have sustained winds ranging from 39 to 73 miles per hour. Both hurricanes and tropical storms form over warm ocean waters and are characterized by strong winds and heavy rainfall.
A storm is considered a hurricane when it is a large scale cyclone with tropical characteristics and sustained winds of at least 74 mph.
A hurricane is a large storm system characterized by strong winds reaching speeds of 74 miles per hour or more. It forms over warm ocean waters and has the potential to cause widespread damage through high winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, and flooding.
No. That would be a category 5 hurricane.
Winds in Neptune's wind storms can reach speeds of up to 1,300 miles per hour (2,100 kilometers per hour), making them some of the fastest in the solar system.
A violent rotating windstorm spawned by a thunderstorm is a tornado.
It varies considerably. A tropical storm must have sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour to be considered a hurricane. Hurricanes with sustained winds has high as 200 miles per hour have been observed, along with stronger gusts.

A storm is considered a hurricane when it is a large scale cyclone with tropical characteristics and sustained winds of at least 74 mph.
In order they are : tropical disturbance, tropical depression, tropical storm, sustained winds over 74 mph (hurricane/typhoon).
By definition it is a hurricane. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with winds of 74 mph or more.
A hurricane is a large storm system characterized by strong winds reaching speeds of 74 miles per hour or more. It forms over warm ocean waters and has the potential to cause widespread damage through high winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, and flooding.
wind speeds over 74 miles per hour are possible. in a hurricane winds can get up to 100 miles an hour!
No. That would be a category 5 hurricane.
There have been tornadoes in Madagascar that have caused serious damage. A tropical storm that originates over the Indian Ocean and winds get to 74 miles per hour are called cyclones. Hurricanes form over the Atlantic Ocean. Typhoons form over the Pacific Ocean.
The weakest tornadoes have estimated winds of 65 mph (105 km/h); this is a low end EF0. The very strongest are believed to have winds just over 300 mph (480 km/h); this is a strong EF5. A tornado this strong is extremely rare. The most damage is caused by tornadoes rated EF3 and higher, with estimated winds over 135 mph (217 km/h).
Yes it has had winds over 100 miles an hour, tornadoes and floods.
