I don't have the paper in front of me, so this is just off the top of my head, but it seems to me that I've read
that the highest wind speed ever officially recorded was 234 miles per hour, at the weather observatory on
Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.
I read it in the hotel's local information booklet the night before I was scheduled to go up and work on
one of the microwave radio sites on Mt. Washington. I was really looking forward to it, but something
came up and I didn't go. Maybe some day.

Does a tornado travel in a always travel south to north?
no
What device is used to determine the direction and wind speed of a tornado?
The speed and direction of a tornado can be determined using Doppler radar by measuring how far the tornado moves between sweeps and in what direction.
What is the wind speed of EF3 tornado?
An EF3 tornado has estimated winds of 136-165 mph.
What is the top speed of a EF5 tornado?
There is no set upper limit for an EF5 tornado. Any tornado with estimated winds in excess of 200 mph is considered an EF5.
Can speed travel in what density?
It doesn't work that way. For a start, speed doesn't travel. Rather, an object travels at a certain speed.
What speed distance can a tornado travel at?
at a speed of about 350 km/h
Can tornadoes travel faster then the speed of sound?
No. The fastest speed a tornado has peen known to travel is 73 mph, about 1/10 the speed of sound. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph, still less than half the speed of sound.
How long will it take a tornado to travel over a land?
Each tornado has it's own speed. Some move slow and others move super fast!
What speed does a F0 tornado travel at?
40-73 mph 65 to 85mph on the enhanced fujita scale
How fast does a tornado travel on ground in km?
I assume you mean kilometers per hour as a kilometer is a unit of distance, not speed. Tornadoes vary greatly in speed. They may be stationary or travel at more than 100 km/h. A typical tornado travels at about 50 km/h.
How fast do tornadoes travel for?
If you mean how fast does a tornado travel, the average forwards speed is about 30 mph, but it can range from 0 mph to over 70.
How fast do tornadoes travel?
If you mean how fast does a tornado travel, the average forwards speed is about 30 mph, but it can range from 0 mph to over 70.
How long would it take a tornado to go around the world at top speed?
The fastest forward speed ever recorded for a tornado was 73 mph, though the tornado that set the record did not travel that fast at all times. At that speed it would take about 14 days to circle the earth. The average tornado travels at about 35 mph, at which speed it would take between 29 and 30 days to circle the earth.
What speed does a tornado travel at in km?
The forward speed of a tornado varies, but most will travel at about 45 to 55 km/h. However some tornadoes are nearly stationary while others may move at over 110 km/h. The winds inside a tornado can range from about 100 km/h to about 480 km/h, though most do not exceed 180 km/h.
How Many miles can a tornado go in 15 minutes?
It depends on how fast the tornado is traveling. The average tornado moves at about 30 mph, so in 15 minutes an average tornado would move 7.5 miles. However, some tornadoes move much faster. The fastest moving tornado on record was found, at times, to travel at 73 mph. At that speed the tornado would travel just over 18 miles in 15 minutes.
How much time does it take for a tornado to pass in one mile?
It varies as different tornadoes move at different speeds. The average tornado, however, moves at about 30 mph. At this speed a tornado would travel a mile in two minutes. Some slow moving tornadoes may move at 10 mph or less. At 10 mph a tornado would travel a mile in six minutes. Some of the fastest-moving tornadoes have traveled at 70 mph. At this speed a tornado would move a mile in just over 50 seconds.
Can tornado travel forward at speeds ranging from 30-70 mph?
Yes, forwards speeds closer to 30 mph are more common, though at least one tornado has traveled at over 70 mph. The average forward speed for a tornado is 35 mph. Some tornadoes travel slower though, and can even be stationary.
