It depends on the type and intensity of the whirlwind. Steam devils have wind speeds of just a few miles per hour. Dust devils typically produce winds between 25 and 45 mph, but winds can, in rare cases, exceed 60 mph. Fair-weather waterspouts often produce winds in the range of 40 to 70 mph. True tornadoes usually produce winds between 60 and 110 mph, but the worst damage usually occurs wind winds in excess of 150 mph. In rare cases winds to over 300 mph may occur in very violent tornadoes.
