The friendly Californian resort of La Jolla Shores is often referred to as the jewel of San Diego, and with its sandy beaches, clear Pacific waters and exceptional surfing and water sports, itâs easy to see why.
The minimum sustained wind speed for a storm to be considered a  hurricane is 74 mph. Hurricanes have been recorded with sustained  winds of up to 190 mph.
In the example below, the hurricane is traveling north with a storm center velocity of 30 km/hr, and a hurricane-wind velocity of 150 km/hr. On the right hand side of the storm both velocities are to the north so the total wind velocity is 180 km/hr (30 + 150).
