A hurricane consists of three main parts: the eye, the eyewall, and the rainbands. The eye is a calm, clear center surrounded by the eyewall, which contains the strongest winds and heaviest rainfall. The rainbands are bands of clouds and thunderstorms that spiral outward from the eyewall. These three parts work together to maintain the storm's structure and intensity, with the eyewall acting as the powerhouse of the hurricane and the rainbands helping to feed energy into the system.
Typhoon Sam did'nt cause a lot of damage when hitting Hong Kong but on Sunday 22th of August 1999 night, an airplane tried to land which has crashed and 3 people were killed. For the outer rainbands of Typhoon Sam, there were 2 episodes of Black Rainstorm Warning Signal on August 23 and August 24.

Storm feeder bands are elongated rainbands that spiral inward toward the center of a storm, particularly in tropical cyclones such as hurricanes. These bands are crucial for the storm's structure, as they transport moisture from the surrounding environment into the storm's core, contributing to its intensification. Feeder bands can produce heavy rainfall, strong winds, and severe weather, often extending far from the storm's center. They play a significant role in the overall dynamics and impacts of the storm.
Hurricanes can produce lightning and thunder, but it is much less common compared to other types of storms like thunderstorms. Lightning in hurricanes tends to occur more in the outer rainbands rather than in the central eyewall. Thunder can also be heard during a hurricane but is usually overshadowed by the intense wind and rainfall.
The statement is false. Hurricanes are classified into categories based on their wind speeds, not stages involving updrafts and downdrafts. While updrafts and downdrafts do play a role in the storm's development, hurricanes are primarily characterized by their sustained winds and overall structure, which includes the eye, eye wall, and rainbands.
