Detailed explanation-1: -What is a hurricane? Hurricanes are enormous storms which come with a rotating wind speed of 74 miles per hour. The rotating wind swirls across the warm water of the tropics and comes with a terrifying force. This force blasts ashore, which causes destruction and even death.

Detailed explanation-2: -A hurricane is a tropical storm with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74 miles per hour or more. The eye of a storm is usually 20-30 miles wide and may extend over 400 miles. The dangers of a storm include torrential rains, high winds and storm surges.

Detailed explanation-3: -The word hurricane comes from the Taino Native American word, hurucane, meaning evil spirit of the wind. The first time anyone flew into a hurricane happened in 1943 in the middle of World War II. A tropical storm is classified as a hurricane once winds goes up to 74 miles per hour or higher.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hurricanes, cyclones, and other extreme weather events are not ‘natural disasters’. The term ‘natural disaster’, despite being widely used, is problematic.

Detailed explanation-5: -The faster winds on that energized “right side” of the hurricane create higher waves, slightly higher wind gusts and the storm surge.

Detailed explanation-6: -Hurricanes, typhoons and tropical cyclones are essentially the same weather phenomenon. They are all large tropical storm systems that revolve around an area of low pressure and produce heavy rain and wind speeds exceeding 74 mph (119 kph). The difference in their names is purely geographic.
