There is no set size for a wedge tornado.
Generally a wedge tornado is one that appears to be wider than the distance from the clouds to the ground and the height of the clouds can vary.
A wedge tornado is a tornado that appears wider than it is tall.
The Waco tornado of 1953 was a third of a mile wide had a path length of 23 miles. Data does not appear to be available on how long it lasted.
The Tri-State tornado lasted for 3 hours and 29 minutes.
It varies widley. An F2 tornado can lasy anywhere from less than a minute to over an hour. Most will last about 15 to 20 minutes.
It depends. Some people mistakenly refer to the size of a tornado as its length, while width is a more appropriate term. No tornado has ever come close to 10 miles wide. However, in terms of. Path length, or the distance a tornado travels, a tornado can easily go for 10 miles or more. The most destructive tornadoes often have path lengths of 20 to 50 miles.

A wedge tornado is a tornado that appears wider than it is tall.
A wedge tornado is a tornado that is very large, usually one that is wider than the distance between the clouds and the ground.
Yes. A classic tornado is a relatively narrow funnel shape extending toward the ground. A wedge tornado is enormous, appearing to be wider than it is tall.
A very large tornado is sometimes called a wedge.
Even the largest tornadoes are not large enough to damage a city. There is no specific kind of tornado that would cover a large portion of a city, though one term used is "wedge." A wedge tornado is a tornado that appears wider than it is tall.
yes and theyre sometimes called wedge tornadoes
All tornadoes are dangerous. Wedge tornadoes are usually stronger and thus more dangerous than smaller tornadoes, though this is not always the case.
There is no specific type or rating for a tornado of a given size, though a mile wide tornado is likely to be very strong. The general term for a very large tornado (though not necessarily a mile wide), is "wedge."
It depends. There is a common misconception that a wedge tornado is necessarily an EF4 or EF5. While many wedge tornadoes are quite powerful, some are not particularly intense. That said, many of the most violent tornadoes are wedges. The most violent tornadoes are capable of picking up large objects such as houses, trains, oil tanks, and heavy construction equipment.
a long wedge has a greater mechanical energy then a short wide wedge.
The longest tornado path ever recorded was 219 miles long.
