Hurricane Sandy has peak sustained wind of 110 mph.
The wind speed of Hurricane Sandy was measured to be about 110 mph at peak intensity.
Hurricane Sandy had peak sustained winds of 110 mph.
No. Not by any means. Hurricane sandy was neither the largest nor strongest tropical cyclone on record. Hurricane Sandy has maximum winds of 110 mph (a category 2 hurricane), a minimum pressure of 940 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm), and a gale diameter of about 1,100 miles. The largest and most intense tropical cyclone every recorded was Super Typhoon Tip, which had peak winds of 190 mph (well into category 5), a minimum pressure of 870 millibars, and a gale diameter of nearly 1400 miles. The strongest Atlantic hurricane on record, if you use wind speed, was Hurricane Camille with winds of 190 mph. If you use pressure the strongest Atlantic storm was Hurricane Wilma at 882 millibars. In terms of wind speeds tornadoes are the strongest storms, with winds potentially exceeding 300 mph.
Hurricane Sandy had peak sustained winds of 115 mph just before hitting Cuba, making it a category 3 hurricane.
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be called a hurricane is74 mph for sustained winds. The highest sustained winds on record were 190 mph. The highest gust on record was to 253 mph.

If you are in a high rise building, estimates of wind speeds for Hurricane Sandy will be in excess of 110 mph.
Hurricane Sandy had peak sustained winds of 115 mph just before hitting Cuba, making it a category 3 hurricane.
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be called a hurricane is74 mph for sustained winds. The highest sustained winds on record were 190 mph. The highest gust on record was to 253 mph.
The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 74 miles per hour. Below that the storm is not considered to be a hurricane.
At peak intensity Hurricane Sandy struck Cuba with sustained winds of 110 mph. By the time Sandy hi the U.S. winds had weakened to 80 mph with some stronger gusts.
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.
No. In terms of wind speed a tornado is the strongest. In terms of energy released and earthquake is the strongest.
No. Hurricane Katrina had peak winds of 175 mph and a minimum central pressure of 902 mph. The strongest hurricane on record in terms of wind speed was hurricane Camille with 190 mph winds. In terms of pressure the title goes to Hurricane Wilma with a pressure of 882 millibars (the lower the pressure the stronger the storm.)
No. A tornado has the highest recorded wind speed. In excess of 300 mph.
