An island off the Aussie coast has captured the record for the highest wind speed ever recorded (253mph, in the eye of a tropical cyclone).
The old record holder – the Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire – has a hilarious FAQ about the new record. Sample question: “the new record occurred during a typhoon, does that REALLY count?”. (Quick, someone call the waaaahmbulance!)
Wait, I thought it was meant to be completely still inside the eye.
