Can category 4 hurricanes reach up to winds over 155 miles per hour?
Depends on whether or not you include wind gusts or not. The rating of a hurricane is based on sustained wind speed. The wind speed range for a a category 4 hurricane is 130 to 156 mph. Any hurricane with stronger sustained winds will be rated category 5. The 1 mph difference is of little consequence, since the winds of a hurricane are generally given to the nearest 5 mph anyway The wind speed in gusts, which do not count toward a hurricane's rating, will exceed the sustained wind speed, so it is quite possible for a category 4 hurricane to produce gusts well over 155 mph. The most notable occurrence was in Cyclone Olivia in 1996. This storm had peak sustained winds of 145 mph, marking it as a category 4, but produced a gust to 253 mph, which is the fastest wind speed ever measured outside of a tornado.
