What part of a tornado spins faster?
The outside of the tornado goes the fastest. When you start to move towards the middle of the tornado, the calmer it gets. The eye of the tornado doesn't even move.
What classification would a tornado with the fastest known wind speeds be given?
A tornado with the fastest winds would be rated EF5.
Which way does a tornado travel?
A tornado can move in any direction, but most move generally east or northeast.
What part of a tornado has the fastest winds?
It depends on the tornado. For most tornadoes the fastest winds occur at the edge of the core. For other tornadoes, especially large and/or strong ones the strongest winds occur in the suction vorticies, which are like mini tornadoes moving within the main circulation of a tornado. Tornadoes with this feature are called multiple vortex or multivortex tornadoes.
Is the wind rotation of a tornado faster in the center or outside?
The wind is generally fastest at the edge of the core. This is because, within a certain radius, the tornado rotates essentially as if it were a solid object.

Do Hurricanes always move faster than tornadoes?
In terms of forward speed a tornado usually moves faster. The average tornado moves at 35 mph, sometimes faster than 60 mph. Hurricanes usually move at 10-20mph, rarely as high as 40 mph. In terms of wind speed a tornado can be much stronger The fastest wind recorded in a hurricane were 190 mph. The fastest winds recorded in a tornado were 302 mph.
Has a tornado ever traveled at 700 mph?
No the fastest a tornado is known to have traveled is 73 mph. The fastest winds ever recorded in a tornado were just over 300mph, which is about as strong as they get.
What part of the tornado has the fastest winds?
In a single-vortex tornado the fastest winds are found at the outer edge of the core, generally on the tornado's right side in the northern hemisphere and the left side in the southern. In a multiple-vortex tornado the fastest winds are found in the subvortices within the main circulation.
How Many miles can a tornado go in 15 minutes?
It depends on how fast the tornado is traveling. The average tornado moves at about 30 mph, so in 15 minutes an average tornado would move 7.5 miles. However, some tornadoes move much faster. The fastest moving tornado on record was found, at times, to travel at 73 mph. At that speed the tornado would travel just over 18 miles in 15 minutes.
What has been the fastest tornado ever in the entire world?
The fastest winds measured in a tornado were 302 mph in a tornado that struck the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999. However, other tornadoes may have had faster winds that were not measured, as it is rare to get an actual wind measurement from a tornado. The fastest known traveling speed of a tornado was 73 mph in the Tr-State tornado of March 18, 1925.
How fast do you have to be to out run a tornado?
You can't run that fast. A tornado's speed can vary, but on average - and most of them stick pretty close to the average - they move at 35 mile an hour. The fastest sprinters barely make 25 MPH.
How fast can tornadoes bee?
The fastest moving tornado recorded traveled with a forwards speed of 73 mph. The fastest winds recorded in a tornado were 302 mph
How long would it take for a tornado to move 1 mile?
It depends on how fast the tornado is moving, which varies. An average tornado moves at about 30 mph, so it would take 2 minutes to travel a mile. The fastest a tornado has ever been known to travel was 73 mph, in which case it would travel a mile in about 50 seconds. At the other end, some tornadoes barely move at all.
How much time does it take for a tornado to pass in one mile?
It varies as different tornadoes move at different speeds. The average tornado, however, moves at about 30 mph. At this speed a tornado would travel a mile in two minutes. Some slow moving tornadoes may move at 10 mph or less. At 10 mph a tornado would travel a mile in six minutes. Some of the fastest-moving tornadoes have traveled at 70 mph. At this speed a tornado would move a mile in just over 50 seconds.
Do tornadoes move from were they have come out the sky?
Yes, it is rare for a tornado to be stationary. The average forwards Speed of a tornado is 35mph and the average distance traveled is 5 miles. One record-breaking tornado traveled 219 miles and at times moved at 73 mph. It was the fastest moving, farthest traveling, and deadliest tornado in U.S. history.
