Typhoon Tip was a tropical cyclone that remains the largest and most intense ever recorded. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (SSHS) rated the powerful storm a category 5 super typhoon. It's highest wind speeds were 190 miles per hour. The only storm which surpasssed it was Super Typhoon Nancy, another category 5 super typhoon, had winds which sometimes passed 210 MPH
Typhoon Tip is in category 5
A super typhoon is a typhoon with sustained winds of at least 150 mph.
Typhoons are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale by the Joint Typhoon Warning center. By those standards the highest category is category 5 (winds over 156 mph). Other agencies do not use the scale, and classify the strongest typhoons as super typhoons (winds over 150 mph), which are equivalent to a strong category 4 or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale. In terms of pressure, the most intense typhoon on record was Typhoon Tip (1979), with a miniumum pressure of 870 millibars, the lowest sea-level pressure on record. In terms of wind speed, Typhoon Haiyan (2013) was the most intense, with sustained winds of 195 mph.
The typhoon formed out of a disturbance in a monsoon trough on October the 4 near Pohnpei

Super Typhoon Tip was a powerful typhoon (hurricane in the west Pacific) that lasted from October 4 to October 19 of 1979 and was indeed a real storm. This typhoon was the largest tropical cyclone ever recorded and the most intense in terms of barometric pressure. The storm was 1350 miles wide and had a minimum central pressure of 870 millibars. Tip has peak sustained winds of 160 mph, equivalent to a category 5 hurrcane.
