Officially the largest tornado ever recorded was the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013. It was 2.6 miles (4.2 kilometers) wide. Analysis shows a damage swath on the ground that was nearly as wide. It traveled 16 miles (87 km), killing at 8 people.It was rated EF3 as it reached peak intensity over open country, where it could do little damage. Prior to this, the Official record holder was the Hallam, Nebraska tornado of May 22, 2004 with a 2.5 mile (4 kilometer) wide damage path. However, radar readings indicated that the Mulhall, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999 was possibly as wide as 4.3 miles (7 kilometers). It is unclear exactly why this record is not recognized while the El Reno tornado is, but it may have to do with greater confidence in radar measurements nowadays. It is also possible that the radar detected winds that were not directly relate to the tornado
The widest tornado (defined as damage path, not condensation/debris cloud or radar measurements) on record is the Wilber - Hallam, Nebraska tornado during the outbreak of May 22, 2004, with a width of 2.5 miles (4 km) at its peak.
The widest tornado as measured by actual radar wind measurements was the Mulhall (1999) tornado in northern Oklahoma which occurred during the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak. The distance between the maximum winds on each side of the tornado (over 110 m/s) was over 1600 m as measured by a DOW radar. Although the tornado passed largely over rural terrain, the width of the wind swath capable of producing damage was as wide as 4 miles (7 km), making the actual wind field of the Mulhall tornado likely twice as wide as that of the Hallam tornado (the wind field of which was not measured), even though the Hallam tornado resulted in a wider damage path.
Highest forward speed73 mph (117 km/h) from the Tri-State Tornado (other weak tornadoes have approached or exceeded this speed, but this is the fastest forward movement observed in a major tornado).
Tornadoes are not given names as hurricanes are, but are sometimes referred to by the places they hit.
The largest tornado on record was the Hallam, Nebraska tornado of May 22, 2004.
The fastest winds ever recorded in a tornado were 302mph +/-20mph.
This was recorded by mobile Doppler radar in the F5 tornado the hit Moore, Oklahoma on May 3, 1999.
Other tornadoes, however, may have had faster winds but the necessary equipment to record the wind speed weren't present.
That is difficult to determine. The strongest winds ever measure in a tornado were 302 mph +/- 20. This F5 tornado struck the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999. Hardest hit was the suburb of Moore.
However, most tornadoes never have their winds measured, so it is quite possible that other tornadoes were stronger. Two possible candidates are the Jarrell, Texas tornado of May 27, 1997 and the Xenia, Ohio tornado of April 3, 1974.

pretty sure is was in regina. When it snowed a few days ago. Uhg.

The worst tornado that is known to have been multiple vortex was the Tri-State tornado of March 18 1925. This was the worst tornado in U.S. history with a death toll of 695. At certain points along its path it was observed to have two or three funnels.
The longest tornado path ever recorded was 219 miles long.
The largest tornado ever recorded was the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013. This tornado was 2.6 miles wide. Doppler radar measured a wind gust in the tornado at 296 mph, the second highest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado.
The worst tornado ever recorded was the Daulatpur-Salturia tornado that touched down in Bangladesh on April 26, 1989. The death toll is estimated at 1300.

The worst tornado was the Daulatpur-Salturia tornado in Bangladesh, it killed more than 1300 people but its intensity is unknown.
The widest tornado ever record, the Hallam, Nebraska tornado, killed 1 person. The strongest tornado ever recorded (fastest winds measured), The Moore F5 of May 3, 1999, killed 36 people. The worst (deadliest) tornado ever recorded, the Daulatpur-Salturia in Bangladesh killed over 1,300 people.
The deadliest tornado ever recorded was not in a state because it occurred outside the United States. Rather it took placed in the Dhaka division of Bangladesh. It killed an estimated 1300 people, striking the cities of Daulatpur and Saturia. The worst tornado to hit, with a death toll of 695, caused damage in the states of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana with the worst damage occurring in Illinois.
