Is the wind inside a tornado calm?
It is believed that there is a calm "eye" at the center of a tornado. But mostly the winds in a tornado are very strong.
Does a tornado move 300 miles per hour?
No. a typical tornado moves between 25 and 40 mph. Winds in a tornado are faster, however. Some tornadoes can produce winds in excess of 300 mph, but only within a small portion of the tornado and no single location would experience such winds for more than a few seconds. The rest of the tornado will produce significantly slower, though still very strong winds. Tornadoes this strong are very rare however. Most tornadoes have peak winds of less than 110 mph.
Is the wind inside a tornado very strong?
Yes. Even a very weak tornado produces winds over 60 mph (95 km/h). The most violent tornadoes can produce winds over 200 mph (320 km/h), with one tornado having winds measured at just over 300 mph (480 km/h).
How do strong winds cause tornado?
It usually requires a special kind of thunderstorm called a supercell. These storms have a powerful, rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. It is believed that if a mesocyclone intensifies rapidly it creates a downdraft, called a read-flank downdraft or RFD, near the back of the storm. This downdraft wraps around the bottom portion of the mesocyclone, tightening ans intensifying the rotation to produce a tornado. RFD winds can be very strong, sometimes exceeding 100 mph (160 km/h).
Do tornadoes have a wind speed of up to 300 kilometers per hour?
Yes. Very strong tornadoes can in fact have winds well over 300 km/h. In one tornado winds to over 480 km/h were recorded. On the Enhanced Fujita scale a tornado with winds estimated at 300 km/h would be rated EF4, the second highest level on the scale. An EF5 tornado, the highest level, has winds over 322 km/h. However, most tornadoes are not this strong and only earn ratings of EF0 or EF1 with winds ranging from 105 to 177 km/h.
