No. A tornado has the highest recorded wind speed. In excess of 300 mph.
no
Hurricane Ivan speed is 105
A hurricane increases its speed when it is over warm water.

The velocity tells you the speed of the hurricane, but also tells you the direction the hurricane is heading.
Hurricane Katrina August, 2005
Hurricane Noel was the sixth hurricane of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season. It reached a peak wind speed of 80 mph (130 km/h).
75mphOnce a tropical storm has a wind speed of 74 mph it is officially a hurricane so 74 is the lowest wind speed for a hurricane.
No. Not by any means. Hurricane sandy was neither the largest nor strongest tropical cyclone on record. Hurricane Sandy has maximum winds of 110 mph (a category 2 hurricane), a minimum pressure of 940 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm), and a gale diameter of about 1,100 miles. The largest and most intense tropical cyclone every recorded was Super Typhoon Tip, which had peak winds of 190 mph (well into category 5), a minimum pressure of 870 millibars, and a gale diameter of nearly 1400 miles. The strongest Atlantic hurricane on record, if you use wind speed, was Hurricane Camille with winds of 190 mph. If you use pressure the strongest Atlantic storm was Hurricane Wilma at 882 millibars. In terms of wind speeds tornadoes are the strongest storms, with winds potentially exceeding 300 mph.
The wind speed of Hurricane Sandy was measured to be about 110 mph at peak intensity.
The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 74 miles per hour. Below that the storm is not considered to be a hurricane.
The wind speed is 74-95 mph in a category one hurricane.
