EDIT: On your last post, I have a question about wind speed in relation to the systems forward speed. The LI express comes to mind, where the wind gusts were 180mph + despite the fact that the storm was only a category 3. Is that a product of the extremely high speed that the storm was traveling?
Hurricane Hazel in the 50’s (?) is another one.

http://www.weather.unisys.com/hurricane/atlantic/index.html go look at 1938 there.. not a very active year, but that one little storm... if a hurricane moves over long island you'll feel it no matter which side you're on. -HF
