For us Midwesterners, who have never experienced a hurricane first hand, it’s interesting to note how localized the major impact of a hurricane can be. It’s a different animal.

Think of it as a tornado that stays for days.

Think of an EF3 tornado with a diameter of 40-60 miles and you have a Cat 4 Hurricane. The wind speeds diminish outward from the eye of the storm so you can imagine EF 2, 1 & 0 force winds radiating outward from the inner core for a wind circle of hundreds of miles.

Think three day tornado.
