In the most extreme cases wind gusts in a tornado may exceed 300 mph. All but the very strongest of structures will be completely destroyed. Well-built houses will be wiped clean off their foundations and scattered to the wind.
A tornado's wind can be strong enough to completely obliterate a well-built house. But these winds (170-300+ mph) are usually only found in the stronger storms (EF4 and EF5), which account for a very small percentage. Winds in excess of 300 mph will likely occur in very brief gusts.
Typical tornadoes, those from EF0 to EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, have winds up to 135 mph (215 kph), and those still do significant damage.
In some rare cases the winds of a tornado can exceed 300 mph.
The most powerful category of tornado is F5 on the Fujita scale or EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
It is a myth. The pressure drop inside a tornado is not large enough to cause significant damage. Buildings are torn apart by the powerful winds of a tornado.
Not really, tornado alley is one of the areas most frequented by the strongest tornadoes, rated EF4 and EF5. However, even in tornado alley you are unlikely to be hit by such a strong tornado.
The weather is storm as tornadoes are produced by very powerful thunderstorms. The tornado may be surrounded by rain and large hail.
A tornado has low pressure at its center and a powerful updraft. As a result air rapidly rushes inward and upward, sometimes carrying things with it.
There is no such thing as an F6 tornado.
A tornado produces very powerful rotating winds.
A tornado is an immensly powerful whirlwind
Both
This depends on how powerful the tornado was.
The most powerful tornado is an f-5 tornado which can reach now over 200mph on the enhanced fujita scale and 261-318 on the regular fujita scale
The most powerful category of tornado is F5 on the Fujita scale or EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
Yes. A tornado is very powerful and dangerous, a tornado is very similar to a twister. It consists of winds traveling up to 300 miles per hour, some tornado's winds even travel faster.
EF5
A Tornado
Tornado damaged is caused by a tornado's powerful winds and objects carried y those winds.
Both a tornado and a blizzard are dangerous storms with powerful winds.
