A hurricane or typhoon (sometimes simply referred to as a tropical cyclone, as opposed to a depression or storm) is a system with sustained winds of at least 34 metres per second (66 kn) or 74 miles per hour (119 km/h).
Sustained winds in a hurricane will decrease at a relatively constant rate (approximately half the wind speed in the first 24 hours). Thus, the faster the forward speed of a landfalling hurricane, the further inland hurricane force winds may penetrate. Image credit the National Hurricane Center (NHC) .
