Do tornadoes occur fast

Quite often, yes. Once formation starts a tornado can develop in a matter of seconds. Most tornadoes, except for ones that are large or slow-moving, usually do not affect a given spot for more than a few seconds and even a mile wide tornado moving at average speed will only affect a location for about two minutes before moving on. That said, some tornadoes, especially very strong ones, can persist for well over an hour.
