Best Answer

The wind of a tornado may be remotely measured using Doppler radar. In rare instances an anemometer makes it inside a tornado and measure wind directly. However, most tornadoes never have their winds actually measured. Instead the wind speed is estimated from the severity of the damage using the parameters of the Enhanced Fujita scale.
