The characteristics of a hurricane are powerful winds, driving rain, and raging seas. Although a storm must have winds blowing at least 74 miles an hour to be classified as a hurricane, it is not unusual to have winds above one hundred and fifty miles per hour in a major hurricane. The entire storm system can be five hundred miles in diameter, with lines of clouds that spiral toward a center called the "eye." Within the eye itself, which is about 15 miles across, the air is actually calm and cloudless. But this eye is enclosed by a towering wall of thick clouds where the storm's heaviest rains and highest winds are found.

What is the central idea presented in this paragraph?
A.
Hurricanes have winds of at least 74 miles an hour.
B.
Hurricanes are more destructive than tornadoes.
C.
The eye of a hurricane is about 15 miles across.
D.
Hurricanes have very dangerous characteristics.
