The fastest wind speed recorded in a tornado was 302 mph in the Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999. However, wind measurements in tornadoes are rare and it is likely that other tornadoes had faster winds but did not have them measured.
The fastest speed a tornado is known to have traveled is 73 mph. That was the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. This tornado also holds the record for duration (3 hours, 29 minutes), path length (219 miles), and U.S. death toll (695).

∙ 12y agoA tornado that hit Moore City, Oklahoma in 1999 which had winds clocked at 302 MPH had the fastest measured winds, but others may have been stronger as actual wind measurements are rare.

∙ 9y agoIt is not known for certain. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was a gust to 302 mph. This occurred in the F5 tornado that hit the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999. However, the vast majority of tornadoes never have their winds measured, so it is probably that other tornadoes had stronger winds.

In terms of forwards speed, some tornadoes are stationary.

Who is the worlds fastest female rapper?
Nicki Minaj is possibly the world's fastest female rapper.
Where does the wind spin fastest in a tornado?
It depends on the tornado. If it is a single vortex tornado the winds near at the edge of the core will be the fastest. However, many of the strongest tornadoes are multivortex, meaning that they have smaller vorticies (almost like mini tornadoes) inside the main vortex. In a multivortex tornado the fastest winds are within these subvortices.

Which is the fastest spinning planet in our solar system?
jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our solar system.
What are the worlds biggest and fastest tornadoes?
The largest tornado on record was the Hallam, Nebraska tornado of May 22, 2004 at 2.5 miles wide. The tornado with the fastest measured winds was the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999 with winds of 302 mph. However since most tornadoes do not have their winds measured it is very likely that some other tornadoes had faster winds. The tornado with the fastest forward speed was the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. At times it traveled at 73 mph.
When some one is in a tornado spinning round can they die?
Yes. A tornado can easily kill people. Whether the person is spinning or not has no effect on the outcome.
Does a tornado have wind?
A tornado IS wind- very fast winds spinning in a circle.
What is hot air spinning upwards?
Tornado
Does a tornado cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?
No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.
What is fastest spinning planet?
Jupiter
What classification would a tornado with the fastest known wind speeds be given?
A tornado with the fastest winds would be rated EF5.
Why don't tornadoes cause the air inside a thunderstorm to spin?
The air inside a tornadic thunderstorm (a storm that produces a tornado) does spin. But it is that spinning air that causes the tornado, rather than the tornado starting the air spinning.
Has a tornado ever traveled at 700 mph?
No the fastest a tornado is known to have traveled is 73 mph. The fastest winds ever recorded in a tornado were just over 300mph, which is about as strong as they get.
What part of the tornado has the fastest winds?
In a single-vortex tornado the fastest winds are found at the outer edge of the core, generally on the tornado's right side in the northern hemisphere and the left side in the southern. In a multiple-vortex tornado the fastest winds are found in the subvortices within the main circulation.
