I have read a few articles about paleo climate and geological evidence indicates that at the height of the warm period in the Cretaceous (that much vaunted "but look it was even higher back then argument from the denial camp") the storms were category 6 to 7 at their strongest with interpolated wind speeds of over 400kph.
