Hurricane Alice of June 1954 had 80 mph winds as did the other Hurricane Alice. one in December of that same year.
Hurricane Alice of 1973 had 90 mph winds.
Hurricane Katrina reached peak intensity with sustained winds of 175 mph.
As a category 3 hurricane, Sandy produced wind speeds of 115 mph in eastern Cuba.
The very vast winds in a hurricane are spinning around the center. The speed at which the hurricane moves depends on the broader winds that push it around. Think about it like a top. A top can spin very fast while only moving slowly across the table.
Hurricanes begin as tropical disturbances in warm ocean waters with surface temperatures of at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit. These low pressure systems are fed by energy from the warm seas. If a storm achieves wind speeds of 38 miles an hour, it becomes known as a tropical depression. A tropical depression becomes a tropical storm, and is given a name, when its sustained wind speeds top 39 miles an hour. When a storm's sustained wind speeds reach 74 miles an hour it becomes a hurricane and earns a category rating of 1 to 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale.The Saffir-Simpson scale was developed in 1971 and until 2008 and Hurricane Ike, used to be a measure of both wind speed and storm surge. Hurricane Ike measured at a category 2 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, but it's storm surge at landfall was at a level to match a category 4 storm. It was felt that many may have underestimated the need to evacuate based on the storms category 2 rating so for the 2009 hurricane season the scale was revamped to measure only wind speed. The storm surge will now be estimated by location.The Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale:Category One Hurricane (Sustained winds 74-95 mph)Category Two Hurricane (Sustained winds 96-110 mph)Category Three Hurricane (Sustained winds 111-130 mph)Category Four Hurricane (Sustained winds 131-155 mph)Category Five Hurricane (Sustained winds greater than 155 mph)
There have been numerous Hurricane Irenes in history because the name cycles every 6 years and has not yet been retired. Most recently, Hurricane Irene in 2005 topped out at 105 mph. So far the Hurricane Irene that is currently active peaked at 100 mph before weakening to 90 mph. Currently the storm is expected to reach a second peak of 125 mph later this week.
Hurricane Katrina reached peak intensity with sustained winds of 175 mph.
As a category 3 hurricane, Sandy produced wind speeds of 115 mph in eastern Cuba.
The top speed of a Honda Hurricane 1000 is 146.0 mph (235.0 km/h). This is based on all stock parts with no modifications.
95 mph.
If It's a head wind it slows down the vehicle's acceleration, lowers the vehicles top speed. If its a tail wind it could raise a vehicles top speed, that is why records have to be run in both directions to negate the wind's influence.
52mph (no wind) 43mph (with wind)
4x AWS is alleged to be the top achieved/recorded record. AWS is the acronym of "Average Wind Speed".
Depends on a lot of variables. Wind speed, surface driven on, aerodynamics of the car.
The top speed recorded of a greyhound dog was taken in Australia March 3rd 2004. "Cheetah" , the amazing greyhound was clocked at a top speed of 84 MPH (wind assisted).
76mph give or take, wind direction, temperature.
