The strongest tornadoes produce the fastest winds of any storm on earth, but tornadoes are small compared to most storms.
around a tornado
The very strongest of tornadoes (those rated EF5) have the strongest winds of any storm on Earth. But compared to other storms tornadoes are fairly small, rarely over a mile wide.
The strongest tornado in the Fujita scale is F5.
Both are, but it is probably more likely with a tornado.
No, Colorado has never recorded an F5 or EF5 tornado, the strongest was an F4. The largest tornado (by path width) on record in Colorado was rated EF3.
Yes. Although they are small compared with other storm types, no other storm on earth can match the winds of the strongest tornadoes.
No. But Katrina was the 6th largest in history. The largest Hurricane? The Great Labor Day Storm. Was the largest.

The strongest category of tornado is EF5 (F5 in countries that still use the original Fujita scale). However, although these tornadoes are the strongest they are not always the largest. In fact, for nine years the largest tornado on record, which hit Hallam, Nebraska on May 22, 2004 was an F4. Though weaker than an F5 this is still and extremely powerful tornado. This was later surpassed by the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013, which was rated EF5.
A tornado warned storm is a thunderstorm for which a tornado warning has been issued, meaning that the storm is producing rotation that can spawn a tornado.
As with hurricanes the strongest winds are generally on the right side of a tornado.
A tornado comes from a type of storm called a rotating thunderstorm, but is not a storm, itself.
