For nearly sixty-two years, Mount Washington, New Hampshire held the world record for the fastest wind gust ever recorded on the surface of the Earth: 231 miles per hour, recorded April 12, 1934 by Mount Washington Observatory staff.
The Mount Washington record was toppled in 1996 when an unmanned instrument station in Barrow Island, Australia recorded a new record of 253 miles per hour during Tropical Cyclone Olivia.

I have a hard time believing it also, just look at the foliage on the trees, they would have been stripped bare.

A 100 mph wind will blow a man off his feet.

go to many of the sky resorts at 10,000 ft and you will get those wind speeds, i'm thinking of Squaw Peak, Calif.
