Today is the anniversary of the highest recorded wind gust felt by man in history, a record that stood for 62 years until 1996.
It was in Mount Washington, New Hampshire, on April 12, 1934, that a wind gust of 231 miles per hour was recorded by staff at the Mount Washington Observatory.
In 1996, during Typhoon Olivia, an unmanned station on Barrow Island in Australia clocked a wind gust at 253 miles per hour.
