The fastest wind speed ever recorded on Earth was related to a hurricane gust. On April 10, 1996, Tropical Cyclone Olivia was passing by Barrow Island, Western Australia. At one moment, the storm reached the speed of a Category 4 hurricane - 254 mph! That's faster than a Formula One racing car. You can probably imagine how much damage this kind of wind can cause.
The only windstorm faster than that is a tornado. The air inside a whirlwind can move at a speed of 300 mph! Unfortunately, there's no sure way to measure tornadic winds. Here are some more numbers: 35 mph and more - that's the speed of the average blizzard. 50 to 65 mph - that's how fast a severe thunderstorm moves. More than 74 mph is the speed of a powerful tropical hurricane. Up to 400 mph. wait, do such speeds exist? Yep - but you need to travel to Jupiter to see a storm that speedy!
