C) 74 mph (119 k/ph)

At what wind speed does a tropical storm system reach hurricane strength?

Your Answer: 74 mph (119 k/ph)

A Category 1 hurricane has wind speeds between 74-95 mph (119-153 k/ph). Category 2 hurricanes carry winds of 96-110 mph (154-177 k/ph). Beginning with Category 3, the storms are called "major hurricanes," with winds of 111-130 mph (178-209 k/ph); Fran was Category 3 when it hit North Carolina in 1996. A Category 4 hurricane carries winds of 131-155 mph (210-249 k/ph); when Charley landed on the west coast of Florida in 2004, its 145-mph winds placed it as a Category 4 storm. The strongest hurricanes are Category 5, with winds exceeding 155 mph (249 k/ph); two of the most memorable Category 5 hurricanes that affected the United States were Hugo (1989) and Andrew (1992).
