Yes, many times. In fact, a lot of hurricanes have winds over 90 mph. The highest wind gust on earth was 253 mph in a hurricane on Australia's Barrow Island during Cyclone Olivia in 1996 Winds in tornadoes and thunderstorms can also exceed 90 mph. The highest wind speed ever recorded was 302 mph in the Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999. In some cases, severe thunderstorm wind gusts can be as high as 150 mph.
