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.
