190 mph
the fastest winds recorded in a hurricane were 190 mph in Hurricane Camille.
The most powerful hurricane to hit the U.S. in terms of wind speed was Hurricane Camille in 1969. Camille made landfall in Louisiana with sustained winds of at least 190 mph and a pressure of 905 millibars. The exact wind speed will never bee known as the hurricane destroyed all wind gauges in its path. Camille was one of only 3 known hurricanes to make landfall in the U.S. at category 5 intensity. The strongest in terms of pressure was the Labor Day hurricane of 1935, which made landfall in Florida with sustained winds of 185 mph and a pressure of 894 millibars (a lower pressure is considered more intense). It also made landfall as a category 5.
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be considered a hurricane is 74 mph.
200km/h: yes. That would be a category 3 hurricane. 200 mph: not known. The strongest sustained winds recorded in a hurricane were 190 mph. Hurricane Camille may have exceeded 200 mph, but this cannot be determined as the storm destroyed all wind instruments in its path.
Hurricane Camille was a category 5.

winds of a hurricane can exceed of 200 mph like back in 1969 Hurricane Camille had winds up to that much that wiped out new Orleans it killed 259 peoples in it path directly from the storm
200km/h: yes. That would be a category 3 hurricane. 200 mph: not known. The strongest sustained winds recorded in a hurricane were 190 mph. Hurricane Camille may have exceeded 200 mph, but this cannot be determined as the storm destroyed all wind instruments in its path.
Wind speed is the speed at which air moves from one place to another. Wind speed is a critical factor in determining the intensity of a hurricane, as higher wind speeds are associated with more powerful and destructive storms. Hurricane categories are based on the maximum sustained wind speed of the storm.
Hurricane Camille was a category 5.
the wind speed was very fast to fast for scientists
Hurricanes are categorized based on their wind speeds, with a minimal wind speed of 74 mph (119 km/h) needed to be classified as a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. As the wind speeds increase, hurricanes are classified into higher categories (2-5) based on their sustained wind speeds.
