iBrian, Haiyan is the only confirmed tropical cyclone on record to reach winds of 170 knots (195 mph). However, many WPAC super typhoons over the years have unofficially reached this area of windspeeds. They include Nancy (215 mph) and Violet (205 mph) from 1961, Sally and Opal from 1964 (both 195 mph), and Kit from 1966 (also 195 mph).
