Has a hurricane ever reached 200 mph?


Has a hurricane ever reached 200 mph? The magnitude of intensification was poorly forecast and both forecast models and meteorologists suffered from record-high prediction errors. On October 23, two Hurricane Hunter missions both revealed the storm to have acquired maximum sustained winds of 205 mph (330 km/h) and a pressure of 879 mbar (hPa; 25.96 inHg).
