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.

Was hurricane Ike the largest hurricane ever?

No. Not by any means. Hurricane sandy was neither the largest nor strongest tropical cyclone on record. Hurricane Sandy has maximum winds of 110 mph (a category 2 hurricane), a minimum pressure of 940 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm), and a gale diameter of about 1,100 miles. The largest and most intense tropical cyclone every recorded was Super Typhoon Tip, which had peak winds of 190 mph (well into category 5), a minimum pressure of 870 millibars, and a gale diameter of nearly 1400 miles. The strongest Atlantic hurricane on record, if you use wind speed, was Hurricane Camille with winds of 190 mph. If you use pressure the strongest Atlantic storm was Hurricane Wilma at 882 millibars. In terms of wind speeds tornadoes are the strongest storms, with winds potentially exceeding 300 mph.

The lowest pressure recorded in a tropical cyclone was 870 millibars in Typhoon Tip (1979).
