A tornado and a tropical cyclone often have winds in the same range 0f 60-190 mph. However the highest tornadic winds can exceed 300 mph, much stronger than those of the strongest cyclones, which get up to about 190 mph.

How do meteorologists infer a tornado's wind speed?
The wind speed of a tornado is inferred from the severity of the damage it inflicts.
