It is difficult to pick one that is actually the strongest. Tornado Alley has had a number of tornadoes rated F5 or EF5, but beyond that it is difficult to say whether one was stronger than another. The fastest winds directly measured in a tornado were 302 mph in the tornado that hit the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999. However, actual wind measurements from tornadoes are rare, so other tornadoes may have been stronger, including the Andover, Kansas tornado of April 26, 1991 and the Jarrell, Texas tornado of May 27, 1997.
