Are tornadoes fast?
The winds in tornadoes are fast, but tornadoes themselves do not necessarily move fast. Some tornadoes do move very fast. A few have traveled at over 70 mph. Meanwhile, others have crawled along at less than 10 mph, with some not moving at all. A typical tornado moves at 30 to 35 mph.
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.
