What was the highest wind ever recorded for a hurricane?

1969 - Camille - 190 mph sustained winds 1980 - Allen - 190 mph sustained winds 1950 - Dog - 185 mph sustained winds 1980 - Gilbert - 185 mph sustained winds 2005 - Wilma - 185 mph sustained winds Footnote*** The 1935 "Great Labor Day" hurricane has been documented by some as having 200 mph sustained winds for at least 1 minute, but none of the major weather sites verify this Footnote*** Hurricane Camille was estimated to have 200 mph sustained winds. The highest gust recorded was 213 mph which broke the instruments used at that time to measure the wind speeds of the storm. Nothing about how powerful Camille was is in actual documentation due to the fact it destroyed EVERYTHING in it's path.

They are certain Camille had at least 185 mph + sustained winds: this is fact.....just how strong they really were is unknown because the technology was still not all that great in those days.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
