    It was beaten by a 253 mph wind gust by Cyclone Olivia on Barrow Island, Australia 🇦🇺. In 1996. But this information doesn't include wind speeds from tornadoes which have been observed to be higher.

      The Mount Washington wind record is for the non storm wind speed.
      These are two completely different things. The winds that day were probably much stronger but the recording device broke at 231 mph

      I was lucky enough to be up there during al.ost 100mph winds, you can definitely glide short distances easily. If you went over the rail those winds could kill you rolling you down the inclines

  • @Cleaning_Hero

    This is completely incorrect. The highest wind ever observed by man and recorded by doppler radar was measured at 318mph in Bridge Creek, Oklahoma on May 3, 1999 inside of an E-F5 tornado that destroyed whole communities. When assessing the damage afterward, FEMA surveyors observed whole concrete foundations having been grinded down to nothing and completely swept away, as well as disfigured semi-trucks that had been lifted and carried high into the atmosphere and thrown miles away from where they were picked up. It was able to drive blades of grass through concrete parking blocks like an arrow would go through butter, and in some areas, the worst areas hit, they couldn’t even find the people that had been caught in it’s path. They’d find an ear there (most of it, anyway), a finger somewhere else, a tooth maybe - the mile-wide tornado was so thick with debris flying at 318mph that it shredded literally everything in its path; as in people, buildings, animals, cars, paper, silverware, anything and everything that was unfortunate enough to get pulled into the center of the tornado. It was over a mile wide at a it’s peak width and did most of its damage in Bridge Creek, OK and Moore, OK. It’s well documented. Even more unfortunately, Moore was hit again by another E-F5 on May 20, 2013 and it nearly followed the same path as the 1999 tornado. Many enthusiasts and scientists claim it was powerful enough to be classified as an E-F6 (which would have been a historic first), but since the F / E-F rating is based on damage, it was categorized as an E-F5. In other words, an E-F5 tornado blows a well-constructed building away off of its foundation, and even the foundation in rare cases is gone as well - nothing is left. So, theoretically, an E-F6 can’t do any worse, as all the material available to be destroyed is gone with an E-F5. So perhaps a more accurate rating would be that the 1999 tornado was “stronger than or equal to” an E-F5, which by today’s standards quantifies the damage that tornadoes with winds greater than or equal to 200mph can inflict. The 2013 tornado (210 mph winds) was much less powerful than the 1999 tornado (318mph winds), but it was still more than capable of inflicting E-F5 damage; blowing away a well-constructed building including its concrete foundation - leaving nothing in its wake but blood. Have that for some morbid trivia.

      The Mount Washington record is for a non-tornadic/cyclonic wind gust. It's important to note the Bridge Creek record wasn't measured by anemometer, but with a Doppler on Wheels (DOW) radar unit. A DOW measurement is seen as more of an estimation than a direct measurement via anemometer.

      I think they are distinguishing between high-winds and Tornados. I'm not saying they should, I just think for whatever reason, maybe certain high winds are not tornados

    They had to throw the global warming comment in,, not realizing that this kind of disproves a lot of their theories! They say that our weather is getting hotter,, hottest weather since the 1890s? It's not related to this story, but we had a real heat wave back in the 1890s and now we just have slightly warmer weather. It's called, weather!😂😂😂😂😊
