In 2015, Hurricane Patricia set the record for highest wind speed, reaching maximum sustained winds of 215 mph. The fastest animal on Earth, the Peregrine Falcon, has a top speed of 355 ft/s. Convert both into m/s and determine which was faster, the winds of Hurricane Patricia or a peregrine falcon.
