Yes, within the tornado itself there will be very strong sustained winds. However, in most cases, they will not seem like sustained winds as most tornadoes are rather small and will pass over an area in a few seconds.
The winds reported in a tornado's rating are not sustained winds, but maximum wind speeds estimates as an exposure too a 3-second gust. In many tornadoes, the strongest winds occur in short-lived subvortices within the main funnel.

Do tornadoes have stronger winds than hurricanes?
In most cases the wind speeds fall into the same range. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to produce winds in excess of 150 mph, which are rarely attained by hurricanes. The most violent tornadoes do produce stronger winds than even the most intense hurricanes.
Do tornadoes have weaker winds than hurricanes?
No, tornadoes can produce winds faster than in any hurricane. There is actually a substantial amount of overlap between hurricane and tornado winds. Winds for an EF0 tornado start at 65 mph and winds in the strongest tornadoes have been recorded at 302 mph. Hurricane force winds start at 74 mph. Hurricanes have had sustained winds as fast as 190 mph with gusts recorded up to 253 mph.
What about hurricanes and tornadoes is true Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes Hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot Hurricanes have strong winds?
Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.
Which of the following statements about hurricanes and tornadoes is true hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot hurricanes have strong winds?
The statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.
What storm has winds over 300 miles per hour?
As of now, no storm has been officially recorded with sustained winds over 300 miles per hour. The most powerful tropical cyclone on record is Hurricane Patricia, which reached winds of 215 miles per hour in 2015. Tornadoes can exhibit extreme wind speeds, with some estimates suggesting winds may exceed 300 miles per hour in the most intense tornadoes, but these are not sustained over long distances like tropical storms.
Where did the highest winds come from a tornado or hurricane?
The highest winds typically come from a hurricane. Hurricanes are larger systems with sustained wind speeds that can reach over 150 mph, while tornadoes are more localized and have shorter durations but can produce winds over 200 mph in extreme cases.
How fast do winds spin in a Hurricane?
By definition, a hurrricane has sustained winds of 74 mph or greater. Sustained winds have been recorded as high as 195 mph.
How fast are the winds of a tornado thunderstorm and tropical depression?
Wind speeds in tornadoes and thunderstorms vary widely. EF0 tornado winds officially begin at 65 mph, but tornadoes have been rated with winds estimated as low as 55 mph. At the other end, the most violent tornadoes may produce winds over 300 mph. There is no particular winds speed for a thunderstorm. Some produce no more than a breeze. A thunderstorm is classified as severe if it produces a gust to 58 mph or more. Aside from tornadoes, thunderstorms have produced winds to over 130 mph in rare cases. A tropical depression is defined as a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of less than 39 mph.
Does a hurricane or tornado have winds of 200 kmph?
Such a hurricane would be a category 5 as would any hurricane with winds over 156 mph. However, no hurricane has been confirmed to have such winds. It has been suggested that Hurricane Camille may have had such winds, but we don't really know as that storm destroyed all wind instruments in its path.
What has the fastest wind speed out of a hurricane and tornado?
Tornadoes can produce much faster winds. Maximum hurricane winds are around 200 mph while maximum tornado winds are believed to be just over 300 mph. Though in many cases winds fall into the same range.
Why tornadoes damage things?
The winds in tornadoes are extremely fast. The winds can push against and tear away at objects. Winds in tornadoes often carry flying debris that causes damage on impact.
What hurricane has the strongest wind?
The fastest winds on earth occur in tornadoes. In extreme cases they can exceed 300 mph.
