It varies from one to another. A very weak tornado may spin at only about 40 mph at ground level. By contrast, some small but extremely intense tornadoes (informally called "drillbits") can spin at over 300 mph.
It gets complicated, however, as a tornado is often not a simple spinning vortex. Large tornadoes spin more slowly than the strongest "drillbits", but often contain smaller vortices that move with the rotation of the tornado, adding their own spin to the peak wind speed. These multiple vortex tornadoes are the ones that most often produce winds over 200 mph. Winds over 300 mph have been recorded. The forward movement of a tornado also adds to the wind speed on one side of the funnel, left if it spins clockwise (Southern Hemisphere), right if it spins counterclockwise (northern hemisphere).

How fast does an EF6 tornado spin at?
There is no such thing as an EF6 tornado. Estimated winds for an EF5 tornado start at just over 200 mph and have no upper bound.
When the tornado hits the ground how fast can it spin?
extreme tornadoes can attain wind speeds of more than 300 mph (480 km/h)
Which way does a tornado spin in the south?
Most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
How does the gravitron work?
The gravitron spin really really fast so all objects move outwards...i think
Does a tornado spin counterclockwise?
The vast majority of tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise. Most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
What is the analysis of a tornado in a bottle?
you spin the bottle fast and stop
How do you do the Tornado?
The TornadoSimultaneously spin quickly, jump high, and kick fast.
How large and fast is are hurricanes?
they spin and move fast
How fast does an EF6 tornado spin at?
There is no such thing as an EF6 tornado. Estimated winds for an EF5 tornado start at just over 200 mph and have no upper bound.
How long will it take a tornado to travel over a land?
Each tornado has it's own speed. Some move slow and others move super fast!
What is fast in spin and fast out spin in cricket?
There is no such bowling style as 'fast in spin' or 'fast out spin in'.
How fast does a propeller need to spin to move airplane?
12 km per hour
Do hurricanes spin slower then tornado?
no
How fast tornado move?
The average tornado moves at 30-35 mph. But forward speeds may range from stationary to over 70 mph.
When the tornado hits the ground how fast can it spin?
extreme tornadoes can attain wind speeds of more than 300 mph (480 km/h)
Does a tornado possess kinetic energy?
Yes. Anything that moves has kinetic energy. The winds in a tornado move very fast and so have a lot of kinetic energy.
How do you get the tornado spin in castle crashers?
Actually the tornado spin is a magic attack. Each character has it's own magic. The Arabian knight and the bear have the tornado. It's their Y magic attack.
