Tornadoes have the fastest winds on earth.
Winds in a tornado can reach a little over 300 mph.
However, winds on some of the other planets are much faster. The fastest known winds in the universe occur on Neptune. They can exceed 1,000 mph.

However, they are the most violent of storms on earth, capable of producing far stronger winds than any other type of storm, but on a much more localized scale.
