What is Typhoon Nancy?
'''Super Typhoon Nancy''' had extremely intense [[wind]]s near 215 miles an hour, giving her the strongest recorded winds of any [[tropical cyclone]]. It happened September 1961. The comparable cyclones of [[Typhoon Tip]], Typhoon Keith, [[Hurricane Camille]] and [[Hurricane Allen]] all had winds at 190 miles an hour. The Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale did not exist during 1961, although Nancy would have been classified as Category Five for five and a half days, which would be a record in the [[Northern Hemisphere]]. Nancy was also destructive: she created over $500 million (1961 USD) in damage and killed around 174 people in [[Japan]]. Nancy hit [[Guam]] before that. {{DEFAULTSORT:Nancy}} [[Category:1961]] [[Category:Pacific typhoons]] [[Category:Tropical cyclones in Asia]] [[Category:Tropical cyclones in Oceania]] [[Category:1960s in weather]] {{weather-stub}}
