They could. About Patricia in East Pacific in 2015:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_history_of_Hurricane_Patricia#Peak_strength
"Around 06:00 UTC, an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft measured flight-level winds of 221 mph (356 km/h) and the aircraft's stepped frequency microwave radiometer (SFMR) observed surface winds of 210 mph (340 km/h)."
I'd look it up on my site, but I'm trying to avoid it because it's loading slow. |
