The Molecules in a Hurricane

About team work, from a lecture by Dr. Yaser:

Did you know that the individual molecules in a hurricane are moving at about the same speed as the molecules in perfectly still air? The kinetic molecular theory postulates that the average kinetic energy of gas particles depends only on the temperature of the system. So, since hurricanes are about the same temperature as the air around them, their molecules are moving at about the same average speed as the still air in the vicinity.

So what's the difference then?

In still air, these molecules are moving randomly so their net motion is zero. They cancel each other out. In a hurricane, the molecules move together in the same direction so they exert an enormous force on their surrounding environment.
