Bicycling on a level terrain at 5-9 mph is moderate intensity.
Hurricanes are classified on the Saffir-Simpson scale base on their maximum sustained wind speed. They are as follows: Category 1: 74-95 mph Category 2: 96-110 mph Category 3: 111-129 mph Category 4: 130-156 mph Category 5: 157 mph or higher Hurricanes of category 3 or greater intensity are considered major hurricanes.
At peak intensity, Hurricane Rita had sustained winds of 180 mph.
The wind speed of Hurricane Sandy was measured to be about 110 mph at peak intensity.
Hurricane Katrina reached peak intensity with sustained winds of 175 mph.
At peak intensity Katrina was a category 5 hurricane with 175 mph winds.
Hurricane Irene reached peaked intensity over the Bahamas with sustained winds of 120 mph. This had weakened to 85 mph by landfall in North Carolina.
about 30 to 40 mph depending on your weight and the terrain.
The Enhanced Fujita scale uses wind speed estimates derived from the damage. When the peak wind speed of a tornado is determined, that estimate us used to rate the tornado from EF0 to EF5. Here are the categories: EF0: 65-85 mph EF1: 86-110 mph EF2: 111-135 mph EF3: 136-165 mph EF4: 166-200 mph EF5: over 200 mph Doppler radar has detected winds inside a tornado over 300 mph. The higher the intensity level, the less common the tornado. Most tornadoes are are rated EF0 and EF1. Fewer than one tornado in every thousand is an EF5.
About 761 mph at sea level.
3048 mph @ sea level, 2640 mph @ altitude

At peak intensity, Hurricane Rita had sustained winds of 180 mph.
At peak intensity Otto was a category 1 hurricane with 85 mph sustained winds.
At peak intensity, Hurricane Isabel had sustained winds of 165 mph.
At peak intensity Hurricane Wilma had 185 mph winds and a central pressure of 882 millibars.
The difference is in intensity. A tropical depression is a tropical cyclone with winds under 39 mph. A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 39 mph to 73 mph.
