That varies widely. Some are nearly stationary and some move at over 70 mph but the average is about 30 mph
The largest tornado on record in the U.S. varied in speed. For the early part of its time on the ground it traveled at about 30 mph before suddenly accelerating to 55 mph.
In terms of how fast a tornado is moving, the tornado is tracked on radar. The forward speed is calculated based on how far it moves in a given period of time. The wind speed of a tornado is estimated based on the severity of the damage it causes.
The average tornado moves at 30-35 mph. But forward speeds may range from stationary to over 70 mph.
How fast a tornado is moving refers to how fast the tornado itself travels from point A to point B. For example, a tornado moving towards at 30 mph and is a mile away will reach you in 2 minutes. The rotational winds of a tornado refers to how fast the tornado itself is spinning, which is generally faster than its forward speed.
If you mean how fast does a tornado travel, the average forwards speed is about 30 mph, but it can range from 0 mph to over 70.
Yes, forwards speeds closer to 30 mph are more common, though at least one tornado has traveled at over 70 mph. The average forward speed for a tornado is 35 mph. Some tornadoes travel slower though, and can even be stationary.
Tornadoes travel at speeds ranging from 0 to over 70 mph. The average is 30 mph.
average of 30mph and can reach over 70mph
The fastest forward speed ever recorded for a tornado was 73 mph, though the tornado that set the record did not travel that fast at all times. At that speed it would take about 14 days to circle the earth. The average tornado travels at about 35 mph, at which speed it would take between 29 and 30 days to circle the earth.
The most common question about tornadoes is likely "How fast can a tornado travel?"
It is impossible to use black tornado, I know sega is such n00bs and I was totally looking forward to flying in circles, really fast around aliens too! (nOoB)
The average tornado travels at 35 mph. Some tornadoes are stationary or nearly stationary. One tornado in 1925 was determined to have traveled at 73 mph at one point.
