It was back in 1938 and it smashed into long island NY a category 3 hurricane that was moving at a forward speed of almost 60MPH .....It moved from just off Florida to New England in just one day!! Another runner up to the fastest moving hurricane would be Hurricane Hazel in October 1954, it hit near the North Carolina and South Carolina boarder at 8am and by 8 pm it was racing into central New york state at about 50 MPH.

The largest hurricane ever recorded based on diameter is Typhoon Tip, which reached a diameter of about 2,220 km (1,380 mi) in the western Pacific Ocean in 1979. In terms of wind speed, Hurricane Patricia in the eastern Pacific had the strongest winds ever recorded in a hurricane, with sustained winds of 215 mph in 2015.

The fastest sustained wind speed in any storm dubbed a hurricane was 190 mph. In this case the record is tied between Hurricane Camille (1969) and Hurrican Allen (1980). However, the storms we call hurricanes go by other names in other parts of the world. If we include those, then the record goes to Typhoon Haiyan (2013).
