A hurricane is a large rotating storm with high speeds of wind that gust at least 74 mph that forms over warm waters in tropical areas. It's a really big warm storm, almost like the summer version of a blizzard, said AccuWeather Meteorologist Todd Miner.(Photo/NOAA).magine that warm water is fuel to the hurricane in the same way that gasoline powers a lawn mower or a car, Larson said. Too much dry air can also quiet a storm if it is pulled into the storm's circulation and it can disrupt the entire structure of the hurricane.
