What is the strongest typhoon in the world?

The lowest pressure in the center is 870hpa, the highest wind speed is 84m 1s(306km), and the maximum circulation diameter is 2 174km, which is enough to cover half of the United States. This typhoon caused massive floods in Japan from 65438 to 0979. 1 10 people were killed, 5 people were missing and 543 people were injured. 139 houses collapsed and another 1 287 houses were damaged. Flooded bed 8 157, flooded bed 47943, cultivated land 2545 1 hectare, and ships 19. After reaching the top speed, Taipei gradually weakened and approached the coast of Japan. A large number of uninterrupted precipitation caused landslides and mudslides in Honshu Island, which caused millions of dollars in heavy losses to Japan's agriculture and fisheries, leading the Japan Meteorological Observatory to call the typhoon at that time Typhoon No.20.

The highest wind speed should be typhoon heather (196 1 year), which is a tropical cyclone in the Pacific typhoon season of 196 1 year. The storm formed on September 7, dissipated on September 17, and lasted for 10 days. Although not all the monetary value losses were calculated afterwards, the losses caused by heather in Guam and Japan were "amazing". The typhoon caused 173 deaths and 19 people were missing. However, the name "Heather" has never been retired, and it has been used for typhoons generated in the northwest Pacific for many times, and it was not officially retired until after 1989.
