during hurricane hazel in october of 1954 I believe the wind speed atop the empire state building recorded a wind gust to 124mph?
The last I heard, the long-standing record of Mt. Washington, New Hampshire still stood. Mt Washington is locally known as "Misery Hill", and there is a weather station there. On April 12, 1934, a wind speed of 231 MPH was measured there.
238 mph in 1948. A rogue tornado hit just south of Providence.
The 1937 Great Hong Kong Typhoon--- Observatory instruments of registering up to 125mph broke down. By the way, the first T10 typhoon signal was hoisted in 13 years today. Highest wind speed recorded was in Ngong Ping, 142kph (89 mph)
The fastest wind speed ever recorded anywhere was 302 mph (486 km/h) in an F5 tornado as it tore through Bridge Creek, Oklahoma on May 3, 1999. The measurement was obtained with Doppler radar, so it technically was not a direct measurement. The fastest directly recorded wind speed was a gust to 253 mph (408 km/h) recorded on Barrow Island, Australia on April 10, 1996.
I think it is 2,46375
96MPH recorded in Feb 2009.
North America does not have record of their highest wind speed available to the public. However, the highest wind speed ever recorded anywhere was during Tropical Storm Olivia in Australia. Top speeds reached 203 miles per hour.
1888
50kiometers per hour
No. A tornado has the highest recorded wind speed. In excess of 300 mph.

231 MPH on the afternoon of April 12, 1934.
Mount Washington. Highest recorded wind speeds in US.
The highest sustained wind speed recorded in a tropical cyclone was 190 mph, which was measured in several storms including Hurricane Camille and Typhoon Tip. The highest gust recorded in a tropical cyclone was 253 mph on April 10, 1996 on Barrow Island off the coast of Australia.
The highest straight windspeed was recorded at the Meteorological Observatory on Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, at 235 mph. So, as far as has been thus far documented, wind can move at any speed from there down to almost zero.
