In terms of strength, any F5 or EF5 tornado warrants a look as to whether it might be the strongest, as such a rating puts them in the top 0.05%. A few particular ones stand out, however.The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925 had the longest damage path and fastest forward speed of any tornado ever recorded and is also the deadliest tornado in U.S. history. Although detailed damage surveys did not exist back then, the widespread F5 damage indicates an extremely violent tornado.The Xenia, Ohio tornado of April 3, 1974 was one of the most destructive and intense tornadoes in U.S. history and the worst of the infamous Super Outbreak.The Jarrell Texas tornado of May 27, 1997 produced the most severe tornado damage ever seen, though this may be partially due to the tornado's slow forward speed, which resulted in it staying over one place for a long time.The Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999 had the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth at 302 mph. However, it is impossible to say whether the other tornadoes listed might have been stronger as they never had their winds measured. Additionally, this wind speed gust was about 100 feet of the ground. Winds at ground level are unknown.
The longest tornado path ever recorded was 219 miles long.

The largest tornado of the 1970's hit Boone and Kenton Counties in Kentucky on April 2, 1977. It was 1.7 miles wide, but because it tore mostly across open countryside it did not do heavy damage and was only rated F1. There were no fatalities. The deadliest tornado of the 1970's was an F4 that struck Mississippi on February 21, 1971, killing 58 also making it the deadliest tornado in Mississippi history. first touched down near the Louisiana border southwest of Cary and tore a damage path 202 miles long (one of the longest ever recorded), dissipating a few miles north of the Tennessee border. The most destructive was an F5 that Struck Lubbock, Texas on May 11, 1970. It caused $250 million in damage, which is equivalent to over $1.4 billion in todays dollars, marking it as the second most destructive tornado of all time. Which tornado was the strongest of this decade could go to any one of the 14 F5 tornadoes that touched down, but one particular candidate of interest was the tornado which struck Xenia, Ohio on April 3, 1974. It was most certainly one of the most intense tornadoes ever recorded.
