This why I find it so hard to believe anything I see from the US news media. From CNN:

http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/05/world/asia...?hpt=hp_t2

"It's packing sustained winds of 195 kilometers an hour (313 mph) near the storm's center, with gusts of up to 230 kph (370 mph)."

[TomK]

Pog - do you have family there?

Tom. It looks like they updated that news feed, as a kilometer is a little over .6 mile, making the 195 KMH closer to 121 MPH... still a wind I would not like to meet, but 313MPH.... Nothing would not survive!

The applied the formula incorrectly. 121MPH is roughly 195KPH.
