Mph, kph, knots, or on the Beaufort Scale.
The wind speed of Hurricane Sandy was measured to be about 110 mph at peak intensity.
It's peak sustained winds were 175 mph, with gusts to 215 mph.
To be considered a hurricane a tropical storm must produces sustained winds of at least 74 mph. The highest reliably recorded sustained winds in a tropical cyclone (hurricane or typhoon) were 195 mph. Gusts have been measured to 253 mph.
The Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999 had a wind gust measured to 302 mph.
Wind speed is measured with an anemometer (which gives the speed in mph or km/h) and can be classified using the Beaufort scale.

The fastest wind speed ever recorded on earth was 302 mph. It was measured in an F5 tornado in the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999.
The highest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph. Other tornadoes, however, may have had faster winds that simply weren't measured. The fastest known forward speed of a tornado was 73 mph.
