- The winds of a hurricane range from 74 miles per hour in a minimal
- storm to greater than155 miles per hour in a catastrophic one. Often
- accurate readings of high wind gusts during landfall are impossible
- because the anemometers at reporting wind stations are ripped from
- their foundations.

- Wind is responsible for much of the structural damage caused by
- hurricanes. High winds can uproot trees and tear down power lines.
