Yes. Wind can reach 100 mph in hurricanes, tornadoes, and some very severe thunderstorms. However that is nowhere close to the fastest. The fastest wind ever measured on earth was in the F5 tornado that struck the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999. Doppler Radar measured winds of up to 302 mph. Outside of tornadoes, one tropical cyclone (basically a hurricane) in Australia produced a wind gust to 253 mph. In 2010 a violent thunderstorm struck New York City with a wind gust to 125 mph.
