Tornadoes vary greatly in width, path length and duration. The average tornado is about 100 yards wide, lasts about 5 minutes, and travels two to three miles. The worst tornadoes can be well over a mile wide, travel for more than a hundred miles, and persist for an hour or two.
At the other end, some tornadoes are only a few feet wide and last only a few seconds.
