Hurricane Donna's maximum sustained wind speed reached 160 mph (260 km/h) during its peak intensity.
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be considered a hurricane is 74 mph.
The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a hurricane was about 190 mph (305 km/h) in Hurricane Patricia in 2015.
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.

The minimum wind speed for a storm to be considered a hurricane is 74 mph.
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.
