The most extreme hurricane in recorded history is Hurricane Patricia, which struck the eastern Pacific in October 2015. It reached maximum sustained winds of 215 mph (345 km/h), making it the strongest hurricane ever measured in terms of wind speed. Despite its intensity, Patricia made landfall on the western coast of Mexico as a Category 5 hurricane, but the damage was less catastrophic than initially feared due to its rapid weakening. Other notable hurricanes, like Hurricane Katrina in 2005, are often remembered for their devastating impact rather than wind speed alone.
