The record is around 300 mph.
Well that fast of wind is asspose to be lightning for one to be really a laska.
The estimated wind range for an F4 tornado is 207-260 mph. On the Enhanced Fujita scale this was change to 166-200 mph for an EF4 tornado.
Yes, wind near a tornado spirals in towards the tornado.
In addition to rotating quickly, the wind in a tornado moves upward rapidly as well. Sometimes fast enough to lift objects.
The actual maximum wind speed for a tornado is not known. The strongest wind ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph.
A tornado IS wind- very fast winds spinning in a circle.
You could say that a tornado is a kind of very fast spinning wind that sometimes happens during a thunderstorm that can wreck houses.
A tornado is not a solid thing that you can touch, it is a vortex of very fast wind.
depends on size of the tornado anywhere from 65 to over 300 mph.

A Tornado is swirly fast wind, a flood is rising water levels...
Safety hazards that may be encountered during a tornado include:Collapsing buildingsInjury from wind-driven debrisInjury from being carried away by the wind
There is no set wind speed to that qualifies as a tornado, though different scales have minimum estimates ranging from 40mph to 65 mph.

In terms of how fast a tornado is moving, the tornado is tracked on radar. The forward speed is calculated based on how far it moves in a given period of time. The wind speed of a tornado is estimated based on the severity of the damage it causes.
The estimated wind range for an F4 tornado is 207-260 mph. On the Enhanced Fujita scale this was change to 166-200 mph for an EF4 tornado.
We do not know. The Natchez tornado was in 1840, and it is hard to get reliable information from records that old. The tornado itself was probably an F4 or F5, which would put wind speeds in the range of 200 mph or more, but that does not indicate anything about how fast the tornado itself moved.
