Where have the biggest tornadoes been?

Answer 1

The highest winds ever recorded were in the F5 tornado that hit the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999. Winds were measured at 302 mph. However, wind measurements in tornadoes are rare, so other tornadoes were probably stronger, especially considering that some have produced more extreme damage. The most severe damage ever documented came from the tornado that hit Jarrell, Texas on May 27, 1997. In one section of town, every single structure was blown away, leaving no debris and no survivors. In this neighborhood trees, grass, streets, driveways, and over a foot of soil were completely stripped away, reducing the area to a field of mud and concrete slabs.

Answer 2

The largest tornadoes generally occur on the Great Plains of the United States, though one of the very largest tornadoes on record, which was over 2.2 miles wide, occurred in central Pennsylvania.

Answer 4

Tornadoes do not have names. They are most often referred to by where they hit. The largest tornado on record was a 2.6 mile wide EF5 that move along the edge of El Reno, Oklahoma on May 31, 2013. In the future it will likely be called the 2013 El Reno tornado. The year is needed in this case, as it was not the first major tornado to affect El Reno.

Answer 5

The largest tornado on record occurred near El Reno, Oklahoma, west of Oklahoma City on May 31, 2013. At one point it was 2.6 miles wide. Despite the tornado's massive size and high intensity, damage was limited as the tornado tore across mostly empty grassland. Eight people died, all in cars caught in its path.

Answer 6

There is no objective measure of what the "most extreme" tornado would be. Overall, though, the best candidate would probably be the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. This was the deadliest tornado in U.S. history with 695 deaths. It also holds the records for longest path length (219 miles), longest duration (3 hours, 29 minutes), and fastest forward speed (73 miles per hour) of any tornado on record. This tornado was a mile wide at times and maintained F5 intensity for much of its life as it ravaged numerous towns in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
