Tornadoes have been confirmed with winds as low as 60 mph. Below that it is debatable as to whether a funnel is a tornado, as winds under 58 mph are not considered severe.

How can a tornado cause damage to property?
by their windspeed
What was the windspeed for the waco tornado?
The wind speed for Waco Tornado was over 250 mph winds.
What is the lowest tornado?
The lowest rating a tornado can receive is EF0.
What is the lowest air pressure ever recorded in a tornado?
The lowest known pressure recorded in a tornado was 688 millibars in a tornado in Tulia, Texas on April 21, 2007.
Does the air pressure change inside the tornado?
Yes the pressure drops as the tornado forms and progresses. The tornado's lowest pressure is in the center.
What was the weakest tornado in history?
There is no tornado that can definitively be said to be the weakest. The lowest rating a tornado can get is EF0. When you get into the lower ranges of EF0 it becomes debatable as to whether an event should even be considered a tornado.
Will a tornado form with 10-20mph winds?
IN the Enhanced Fujita Scale The Lowest Wind speed to be a tornado is 65 mph
What does the anenometer measures?
Windspeed
Why does a tornado cause low pressure areas?
Air in a tornado is rapidly drawn upward. This creates low pressure as more air rushes in to replace it. However this can ever completely fill the pressure deficit until the upward movement stops.
What makes tornado winds blow?
Pressure decreases sharply, reaching its lowest at the center of the tornado. This pulls air toward the center of the tornado and then drawn into the tornado's updraft. The tornado spins as it originates from a larger circulation called a mesocyclone.
Which is bigger an F5 tornado or a F1 tornado?
In most cases an F5 tornado will be larger than an F1. However, tornado ratings are a measure of the strength of a tornado, not its size. F5 is the strongest category, and such tornadoes are usually very large, but a few have been fairly small. Conversely, F1 is the second lowest rating (F0 is the lowest) and such tornadoes are generally small, but some have been huge.
What quantity is measured by the anemometer?
WindSpeed
