yes hurricane winds are regulated by the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity.  which has five levels of intensity ranging from category 1-5 \n\ncategory 1 75-95 sustained wind\ncategory 2 96-110 sustained wind\ncategory 3 111-130 sustained wind\ncategory 4 131-155 sustained wind\ncategory 5 156+ sustained wind\n\nGusts are also associated with huricanes and can reach about 215 mph in category 5 hurricanes.\n\nthe strength of a hurricane is dependant on the lowest barometric presure inside of the storm.  The strongest hurrican of record is hurricane wilma from the 2005 hurricane season, when it reached a barometric pressure of 882 mb.

The F scale to which you're refering is for tornado's, not hurricanes. Although hurricanes are by catagory 1-5. The F is for the initial for the Japanese scientist who created the "Fujita" scale, for damage done by tornado's. F1 being the slowest wind speed, doing the least amount of damage, F5 being the fastest wind speed, therefore doing the most damage.

A Cape Verde-type hurricane is an Atlantic hurricane that develops near the Cape Verde islands, off the west coast of Africa. The average hurricane season has about two Cape Verde-type hurricanes, which are usually the most intense storms of the season because they often have plenty of warm open ocean to develop over before encountering land.

Hurricane/Storm Differences\n\nHurricane is the name given to violent storms that originate over the tropical or subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, or North Pacific Ocean east of the International Date Line. Such storms over the North Pacific west of the International Date Line are called typhoons; those elsewhere are known as tropical cyclones, which is the general name for all such storms including hurricanes and typhoons. These storms can cause great damage to property and loss of human life due to high winds, flooding, and large waves crashing against shorelines. \n\nStorm is an atmospheric disturbance in the form of strong winds usually accompanied by rain, snow, or other precipitation and sometimes accompanied by lightning or thunder.\nstorms characterized by area of low atmospheric pressure surrounded by a wind system and often accompanied by rain,storm characterized by extreme cold, strong winds, and heavy snowfall,destructive, violently whirling wind incorporating a funnel-shaped cloud,electrical discharge in the atmosphere often accompanied by thunder

There is no difference. A hurricane is just called different things in different parts of the world.

wind damage for some distance inland with most of the damage close to shore.  The storm surge can tear down buildings and drag them to the sea and it can wash large amount of beach out to sea (extreme erosion).  The rainfall can cause flooding in low lieing areas.\n\nIt depends on the category of the storm (1 being weakest wind, 5 being strongest), how close to shore you are, the geography of the region, the preparedness of the region hit (places that are hit often have building codes that minimize damage) and how slow the storm is moving.  A hurricane that decides to just sit on you for awhile can do a lot of damage.

Several reasons\n1) A hurricane is larger and covers more area while a tornado is much smaller and may only hit one house and leave the neighbors house.  A hurricane can be 500 miles wide, while a tornado is 2 miles wide at most.\n2) A hurricane has storm surge and flooding rains, while a tornado is usually rainless.  A tornado can do more damage to one particular location, but hurricanes have widespread damage.

The term cyclone refers to an area of low pressure in which winds spiral inwards towards the center.\n\nTornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, extra-tropical low pressure systems are all types of cyclones.

Erm...well, Instead of saying immediate effects, you could say Primary effects. Sounds more professional :P\nHurricanes tear buildings apart blah blah.\n\nThey can be predicted with signs of violent winds, killer waves, torrential rains and flash flooding.\nIt's usually predicted for a hurricane 'season'\nThe specialists could look at the weather from the satelites in space with the amount of movement in the wind, and the weather. [I think]\n\nI know the hurricanes are born over water and when it reaches land, it starts to loose power.

You take lots of measurements of wind velocity, temperature and barometric pressure at many grid points, each of which defines a "cell" (a small volume of air -- small compared to the size of the hurricane, that is). From pressure and temperature you can estimate density of each cell, and from the cell volume, the cell's mass. Kinetic energy = 0.5*M*V^2.  Compute for each cell and add 'em up.
