Wind: 200 mph

Year: 2015

Damage: less than $200 million

Hurricane Patricia ends our list of 12 biggest hurricanes ever recorded in the world. With its shocking speed of 200 mph, it is the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the world. Saying that it hit Mexico hard would be an understatement. It is also known as one of the fastest developing monster storms because its winds were increasing about 120 mph in 24 hours. Such was its impact on general public and scientists that there were suggestions of creating a completely new hurricane category for monster storms of this size. Hopefully, we won’t be needing new categories soon enough.
