The average tornado damage path is 5 miles. But they can be much longer or shorter.
The longest recorded damage path was 219 miles.
The shortest was 7 feet.
There is no definite length of duration or size associated with any particular category of tornado. However, stronger tornadoes tend to be larger and last longer, though not always. Most F0 an F1 tornadoes last less than 10 minutes.
Generally stronger tornadoes last longer, though this is not always they case.
Weak tornadoes typically last less than 5 minutes.
How long a tornado lasts can vary widely. The average tornado lasts about 10 minutes. But tornadoes have been known to last as little as 10 seconds and as long as 3.5 hours. Not many tornadoes last more than 30 minutes. As to when they occur, tornadoes can form at any time of day or night, but are most common in the later afternoon and early evening. Similarly, tornadoes can occur at any time of year, but happen primarily in the spring.
Tornadoes last for 3-5 minutes. They dont really happen much anywys.... ! O.e
The average tornado lasts 10 minutes. However, tornadoes may last anywhere from a few seconds to over three hours, though tornadoes lasting this long are extremely rare.
How long is a piece of string???They can last any length of time!!!

They don't, usually. Most tornadoes don't last more than a few minutes. The tornadoes that do last along time are usually produced by exceptionally strong thunderstorms with very powerful updrafts. Such updrafts are not easily disrupted, and the disruption of the updraft is usually what "kills" a tornado.
as long as it does. There's no length
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.
No. Most tornadoes last no more than a few minutes.
