How long can a tornado strike?
Most tornadoes only last a few minutes, but the longest-lived tornadoes may, in rare cases, persist for more than 3 hours. Unless a tornado is unusually slow-moving, though, it will not stay over the same spot for very long. The average tornado moves at about 30 miles per hour. At that speed a mile-wide tornado would only be over a given spot for two minutes. Some tornadoes do move very slowly, and may even stop moving completely. One tornado is reported to have remained over the same spot for 90 minutes.
