The fastest wind ever recorded on earth was 302 mph +/- 20. A DOW (Doppler On Wheels) recorded this wind in an F5 tornado near Moore, Oklahoma on May 3, 1999.

What is the fastest surface wind ever recorded?

The world record for fastest surface wind speed ever recorded is 253 mph. It was "accurately measured with an anemometer" on Australia's Barrow Island during cyclone Olivia, and being accurately measured makes the "official world record". The unofficial record is 318 mph. This was measured using Doppler radar during an F5 tornado in Oklahoma. It's unofficial because Doppler radar is a less accurate way to measure wind speed than with an anemometer.

The fastest wind ever recorder was on mount wsatington in US How fast was it?

This wind gust was to 231 mph. However, it no-longer holds the record. THe title for the fastest surface-level wind gust was recorded on Darwin Island of the coast of Australia during Cyclone Olivia in 1996. The gust was measured to 253 mph. However, if we go outside official wind speeds, the record belongs to the F5 tornado that astruck the Oklahoma City area. Doppler radar there measured a wind gust to 302 mph at a point about 100 feet off the ground.
