Wind speeds for common storms:
Tornadoes - The Fujita Scale:
F0) 40-72 mph
F1) 73- 112 mph
F2) 113-157 mph
F3) 158-206 mph
F4) 207-260 mph
F5) 261-318 mph
F6) 319-379 mph
Hurricanes - Category Scale:
Cat 1) 74-95 mph
Cat 2) 96-110 mph
Cat 3) 111-129 mph
Cat 4) 130-156 mph
Cat 5) 157+
(The highest wind speed for a hurricane ever recorded was Hurricane Camille in 1969 which measured in at 190 mph.)
Tornadoes have the highest wind possibilities, but it depends on which storm you're following.
Winds in the Great Red Spot, a giant storm on Jupiter, can reach speeds of up to 400 miles per hour (644 kilometers per hour). These winds create the swirling pattern that gives the storm its distinctive appearance.
wind blows sand and creates a sand storm.
The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is believed to be a high-pressure storm that has been raging for centuries, possibly since the 17th century. It is a giant anticyclonic storm that is larger than Earth and produces winds of up to 400 mph.
A tornado.
Jupiter's winds can reach speeds of up to 384 miles per hour (618 kilometers per hour) at its highest. These winds are located in Jupiter's upper atmosphere and are some of the most powerful in the solar system.
Hurricanes and tornadoes.
Just outside the "eye" of the storm in what is called the eyewall.
If you are referring to Hermine, that storm was never a hurricane, only a tropical storm. In order to be considered a hurricane a storm must have sustained winds of at least 74 mph. Hermine's highest winds were 65 mph.
The highest winds in a hurricane are typically found in the eyewall surrounding the eye of the storm. Wind speeds can exceed 160 miles per hour in this region, making it the most intense part of the hurricane.

Of these, a tornado produces the fastest winds.
around a tornado
Yes. A tropical storm has sustained winds of 39-73 mph. A tropical depression has winds of less than 39 mph.
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.
When the speed of a storm's winds increases and they start to swirl in a circular motion, it is known as a tropical storm. This circular motion is one of the defining characteristics of a tropical storm, which can lead to further intensification into a hurricane.
A universal term for a low-latitude storm with winds of 65 knots or greater is a tropical cyclone.
