A tornado is a vortex and may also contain vortices. A vortex is a rotating body of liquid or gass. In a tornado, the vortex is made visible by condensation or dust and debris. It may look like a cone, tapering appendage, or column attatched to the clouds, or may take the appearance of a tube or swirling mass of dust.

Where does the wind spin fastest in a tornado?

It depends on the tornado. If it is a single vortex tornado the winds near at the edge of the core will be the fastest. However, many of the strongest tornadoes are multivortex, meaning that they have smaller vorticies (almost like mini tornadoes) inside the main vortex. In a multivortex tornado the fastest winds are within these subvortices.
