A tornado is a short-term event. Most tornadoes are not over any given spot for more than a few seconds, and rarely more than a minute or two. The vast majority of tornadoes last less than an hour overall.

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.
