Incredible Destruction and at Least 21 Deaths in Fiji From Tropical Cyclone Winston By: Bob Henson and Jeff Masters , 5:32 PM GMT on February 22, 2016 Figure 1. Wind damage in the village of Vatulele, on the northeast tip of Koro Island, Fiji. Tropical Cyclone Winston was at peak strength with 185-mph winds (Category 5 strength) when the eye passed directly over this village on February 20, 2016. Patricia and Winston: strongest cyclones in Northern and Southern Hemisphere records Remarkably, both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere have experienced their strongest cyclones in decades of record-keeping in the space of the last five months. NOAA recently announced the result of its post-storm analysis of Hurricane Patricia from October 2015, which spun up phenomenal sustained winds of 215 mph--the strongest ever measured by instruments via Hurricane Hunter aircraft--as the storm was approaching the Pacific coast of Mexico. Like Winston, Patricia was a relatively small storm, so its central pressure was not as low as its fierce winds might imply. wunderground.com
