Next to each states name is the average annual number of tornadoes in the period 1981-2010, followed by the number of F2 and stronger tornadoes in parentheses () Georgia: 26 per year (5 F2+) Texas: 150 per year (16 F2+) Oklahoma: 57 per year (10 F2+) Kansas: 78 per year (7 F2+) Nebraska: 52 per year (5 F2+) South Dakota: 32 per year (4 F2+) Iowa: 48 per year (7 F2+) Average: 83 per year (10 F2+) It should also be noted that all six states listed from Tornado Alley have recorded at least one F5 tornado, while Georgia hasn't.

What is the approximate wind speed in a tornado?
There are many wind speeds since there are different measures of tornadoes. It is measured by the Fujita Pearson Tornado Scale. If you want the wind speed for all of them . .. : F0 - 40 - 72 miles per hour F1- 73 -112 miles per hour F2- 113- 137 miles per hour F3- 138 - 205 miles per hour F4- 207 - 260 miles per hour F5- 261 - 318 miles per hour Since then these winds speeds, which are really damage based estimates, were found to be in accurate and were adjusted on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. EF0: 65-85 mph EF1: 86-110 mph EF2: 111-135 mph EF3: 136-165 mph EF4: 166-200 mph EF5: over 200 mph.

How fast are winds in F2 tornado?
Between 113-157 miles per hour. However, the upper end of this wind estimate was found to be too high for F2 damage and so EF2 winds on the more accurate Enhanced Fujita scale are estimated at 110-135 mph.
How big is an F2 tornado?
An F2 tornado does not have any particular size. That is not how the scale works; it rates tornadoes based on damage. An F2 tornado (EF2 as of February 2007) is a tornado that tears roofs from well-built homes, derails trains, and destroys trailers. Winds in an EF2 are estimated at 111 to 135 mph.
What is an F2 tornado?
F2 is a rating on the Fujita scale, which assess tornado intensity based on damage. The scale runs from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest. F2 indicates a strong tornado (most tornadoes are F0 or F1) that can tear the roof from a well-built house and lift cars off the ground.
How fast is the wind in an F2 tornado?
Estimated winds for an F2 tornado on the original Fujita scale are 113 to 157 mph. It was later found that this estimate was not quite right for the damage inflicted by an F2 tornado and so was refined to a range of 111 to 135 mph for an EF2 tornado.
Did Baltimore have a tornado before?
