Not to turn this into a pissing contest, but not uncommon in Australia during cyclone season.
The strongest wind gust recorded on the Australian mainland is 267 km/h. The gust was recorded during cyclone Vance at 11:50 am (WST) 22 March 1999 at Learmonth Meteorological Office, 35 km south of Exmouth.
Wind gusts of 259 km/h at Mardie and 246 km/h at Onslow were measured during cyclone Trixie in February 1975.
By ‘ not uncommon’ do you mean ‘pretty much never and certainly not on the populated mainland’?
