CoachPreliminary reports indicate that Typhoon Haiyan had the highest sustained winds of any typhoon on record. It reached peak intensity with sustained winds of 195 mph on November 7, 2013 before making landfall in the Philippines. In terms of wind speed, this would make Haiyan not just the strongest typhoon, but the strongest tropical cyclone (hurricane, typhoon, etc.) on record. This wind speed will need to be verified by later analysis, however.
The previous record belongs to Typhoon Tip, which peaked on October 12, 1979 with sustained winds of 190 mph.
