If a tornado is moving 100 kmh and its 160km from your house how much time do you have to prepare?

If a tornado is 160 km away moving at 100 km/h you have 96 minutes, or a little more than an hour and a half before it hits, assuming it is heading toward you. In a real life situation this should be taken with a grain of salt as a tornado's speed is given as an approximate value and can easily change. Also note that it is rare for a tornado to last 96 minutes.
