In a single vortex tornado the most violent winds are at the edge of the core. Some tornadoes have multiple vortices inside the main circulation. In that case the strongest winds are in these suction vortices.

∙ 12y agoExactly how and why tornadoes form and become so powerful is not fully understood. However, a few things are known.
- Tornadoes can produce the fastest winds on earth, in some instances exceeding 300 mph.
- Tornadoes produce a pressure drop comparable to that found in a hurricane but over a much shorter distance. (in general meteorology the greater the pressure difference over a given distance the greater the wind speed)
- Tornadoes usually develop when a larger circulation called a mesocyclone tightens and becomes more focused in an area.

∙ 7y agoThe term "violent tornado" usually refers to a tornado that has reach EF4 or EF5 intensity, the highest ratings on the Enhanced Fujita scale. These tornadoes can inflict tremendous damage. Well-constructed houses are leveled or even blown away. Trees are stripped of the bark and may be lifted entirely into the air. Large objects get thrown great distance. Additionally, violent tornadoes are often large with damage paths that can be more than half a mile or even more than a mile wide. In some cases these tornadoes can destroy entire towns.

Tornadoes are a form of extreme weather. They are violent vortices of wind produced by severe thunderstorms.
What year had the most violent tornadoes?
The year with the most violent tornadoes on record was 1974, with a total of 36 tornadoes rated as violent.

Not very deep. A very violent tornado may remove a couple feet of soil, but only in extreme cases.
Extreme weather in the us?
The U.S. has had just about every sort of extreme weather including heat waves, cold spells, severe weather, violent tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and severe droughts.
What game do tornadoes like to play?
Tornadoes do not play games or like anything. They are not alive and do not have minds or emotions. They ares simply violent wind storms.
What are the characteristics of tornadoes?
Tornadoes are violent, rotating windstorms that connect to the base of a thunderstorm and to the ground. They are often made visible by a condensation funnel and debris cloud. Tornadoes can be very destructive. In extreme cases winds may exceed 300 mph (480 km/h). While they are more violent than other types of storm, tornadoes are also usually smaller and shorter-lived.
When do most violent tornadoes happen?
Most violent tornadoes (F4 and F5) occur in the months of March-June.
Which of the 7 continents do the most violent tornadoes occur?
The most violent tornadoes generally occur in North America.
Was there been any other extreme weather like tornadoes or hurricanes?
yes
Are most tornadoes violent?
All tornadoes are considered a violent weather events in general terms. However, less than 1% of tornadoes attain a violent rating of EF4 or EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale.
