The notorious, infamous Cyclone Yasi reached wind speeds of up to 290 kilometres per hour.
220 k/ph was the average, but it reached as high as 290 k/ph.
No, a tropical storm and a tropical cyclone are different stages of development in a tropical weather system. A tropical storm can evolve into a tropical cyclone if it intensifies further in terms of wind speeds, typically reaching sustained winds of at least 74 mph.
Cyclone Yasi occurred in February 2011 in the Coral Sea near Australia. It made landfall on February 3, 2011, impacting areas such as Queensland. Cyclone Yasi was a Category 5 storm with wind speeds reaching up to 285 km/h (177 mph).
The smallest tropical cyclone on record was Tropical Storm Marco in 2008, which had a diameter of about 17 miles (27 km) across. Despite its small size, Tropical Storm Marco did not intensify into a hurricane and dissipated over the open Atlantic Ocean.
As a category 3 hurricane, Sandy produced wind speeds of 115 mph in eastern Cuba.
220 k/ph was the average, but it reached as high as 290 k/ph.
A tropical cyclone with winds reaching speeds of 120 km/hr is categorized as a tropical storm. At this stage, the storm is characterized by organized circulation patterns and increasing wind speeds. If the wind speeds continue to intensify, the storm may progress into a hurricane or typhoon, depending on the region in which it occurs.
Cyclone Tracy made landfall at Darwin in the Top End: that is, Australia's Northern Territory.
A cyclone can be likened to a spinning top, as it is a rotating mass of air that swirls around a low-pressure center. Just like a spinning top, a cyclone's motion is characterized by a circular pattern, with the energy being concentrated at its core.

A tropical disturbance can become a tropical depression, which can then lead to a tropical storm and on to a tropical cyclone, or hurricane. (The differentiation between a cyclone and hurricane depends on the strength and location -- it becomes a hurricane when it hits land and exceeds wind speeds of over 74 miles per hour)
For your safety and the safety of others.
They can reach top speeds of 170 MPH.
