During Cyclone Tracy, the wind speed device recorded up to about 217km/h before the building was blown away.
The fastest wind speed ever recorded on Earth was 253 mph (408 km/h) during Tropical Cyclone Olivia in 1996 at Barrow Island, Australia.
253 mph ; The world's worst weather has been challenged by Australian Tropical Cyclone Olivia. Mount Washington's record wind speed of 231 mph, set in 1934, was blown away at 253 mph in 1996 on Barrow Island in Australia. The 62 year old record will be difficult to part with for the weather station, considering it took 14 years for the announcement to be made.
It is possible for someone to survive being outdoors during a cyclone, but it is extremely dangerous and not recommended. Seeking shelter in a sturdy building is the best way to stay safe during a cyclone. There are cases where individuals have survived being caught outdoors during a cyclone, but it is rare.
The tallest storm surge ever recorded was during the 1899 Cyclone in Australia, which produced a surge of about 43 feet (13 meters).
The fastest recorded surface wind speed on Earth was 253 mph (408 km/h) during Tropical Cyclone Olivia in 1996 near Barrow Island, Australia.
The highest sustained wind speed recorded in a tropical cyclone was 190 mph, which was measured in several storms including Hurricane Camille and Typhoon Tip. The highest gust recorded in a tropical cyclone was 253 mph on April 10, 1996 on Barrow Island off the coast of Australia.
No, there are two records for the fastest winds on earth. First, there highest non-tornadic winds were in a wind gust to 253 mph on April 10, 1996 during Cyclone Olivia. The strongest wind ever recorded anywhere in the world was in the F5 tornado that struck Moore, Oklahoma on May 3, 1999. Where mobile doppler radar detected winds of up to 302 mph.

The area most affected by Cyclone Tracy in Darwin in 1974 was the northern suburbs, particularly the areas of Ludmilla, Wagaman, and Nightcliff. These areas experienced the strongest winds and suffered the most damage during the cyclone.
The eyewall of a tropical cyclone typically forms during the mature stage of the storm when the system's circulation intensifies. It is a ring of powerful thunderstorms that surround the eye of the storm and is where the strongest winds and most intense rainfall occur.
The world record for fastest surface wind speed ever recorded is 253 mph. It was "accurately measured with an anemometer" on Australia's Barrow Island during cyclone Olivia, and being accurately measured makes the "official world record". The unofficial record is 318 mph. This was measured using Doppler radar during an F5 tornado in Oklahoma. It's unofficial because Doppler radar is a less accurate way to measure wind speed than with an anemometer.
The fastest wind speed ever recorded on Earth was 253 miles per hour (408 km/h) during Severe Tropical Cyclone Olivia in 1996, near Barrow Island, Australia. This intense wind speed was measured by an unmanned weather station before the equipment was destroyed.
