    Major hurricanes (Category 3 or above) usually cause the most wind damage. [1] Hurricane Andrew for example caused $45 billion (2005 USD) in damage, most of it wind damage. [2] Although wind damage is rare to tropical cyclones near landmasses, there are a few factors that lead to high wind speeds.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffir–Simpson_scale

    Although the scale shows wind speeds in continuous speed ranges, the US National Hurricane Center and the Central Pacific Hurricane Center assign tropical cyclone intensities in 5-knot (kn) increments (e.g., 100, 105, 110, 115 kn, etc.) because of the inherent uncertainty in estimating the strength of tropical cyclones. Wind speeds in knots are ...

    These warnings use a 1-minute sustained wind speed and can be compared to the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, however, regardless of intensity in this basin the JTWC labels all systems as tropical cyclones with TC numbers (plus any parenthesized names or placeholders, like typhoons and North Indian Ocean cyclones above).
