“in general, the cruising speed of a 737 is around 500-600 mph (800-970 km/h).”
Hurricane force wind is 74 mph (119 km/h)
An EF-5 tornado (top of the scale) is any with wind speeds of over 200 mph (322 km/h).
Here’s a quote I found about a tornado (unknown rating):
“I’ve seen bits of straw embedded in telephone poles. Like all the way through. Something as flimsy as a piece of dried grass hurled with enough force to pierce through wood and come out the other side”
The jet is up to three times that speed. That selfie stick would be in multiple pieces in multiple people, pretty much instantly.
No it is not. That window cannot be opened in flight. It is not locked or anything it is just physically impossible for it to be opened due to pressurized differences.
Kinda looks like there is no window there in the first place, the metal edges are missing. Probably being replaced and the pilot saw his chance to make a funny photo.
You could take a picture like this. It’s not impossible. I’m not saying this one is real or not.

I was just thinking his face would look like a cartoon character with its face in a desk fan. Dog hanging its head out the window.
Is that the true air speed or indicated air speed? The pressure can make quite a difference to how much wind you feel for a given speed.
Even indicated airspeed at takeoff would be 180-200 knots, or 230 mph, which is still an F4 tornado and far in excess of any hurricane.
This is 100% possible. But god damn it would hurt.

It is impossible and it is fake.
It’s real bro, try it yourself if you are so skeptical.
I want to see the selfie stick that cab withstand this, for research purposes
