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.

When wind in two directions over a prairie makes air in the middle spin is the beginning of a what?
Tornado
Wind moving in two directions over a prairie makes air in the middle spin this is the beginning of a?
Wind moving in two directions over a prairie makes air in the middle spin. This is the beginning of a tornado.
What is the fastest wind speed ever recorded on earth and location?
The fastest wind speed ever recorded on earth was 302 mph. It was measured in an F5 tornado in the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999.
What is the worlds fastest spinning tornado?
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).
Do Hurricanes always move faster than tornadoes?
In terms of forward speed a tornado usually moves faster. The average tornado moves at 35 mph, sometimes faster than 60 mph. Hurricanes usually move at 10-20mph, rarely as high as 40 mph. In terms of wind speed a tornado can be much stronger The fastest wind recorded in a hurricane were 190 mph. The fastest winds recorded in a tornado were 302 mph.
What classification would a tornado with the fastest known wind speeds be given?
A tornado with the fastest winds would be rated EF5.
Does a tornado spin faster than an airplane can fly?
No. The fastest wind gust ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph. By comparison, commercial jets regularly fly at 500 mph. Some fighter jets can fly at over 1,000 mph.
What way does the tornado wind blow?
The winds in a tornado spin, so the wind itself can come from any direction. Except for rare cases, tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
Is the wind rotation of a tornado faster in the center or outside?
The wind is generally fastest at the edge of the core. This is because, within a certain radius, the tornado rotates essentially as if it were a solid object.

What has been the fastest tornado ever in the entire world?
The fastest winds measured in a tornado were 302 mph in a tornado that struck the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999. However, other tornadoes may have had faster winds that were not measured, as it is rare to get an actual wind measurement from a tornado. The fastest known traveling speed of a tornado was 73 mph in the Tr-State tornado of March 18, 1925.

Wind moving in two directions over a prairie makes air in the middle spin. This is the beginning of a tornado.
What is the fastest recorded speed for a tornado?
On May 03, 1999, a series of tornadoes hit the suburbs of Oklahoma City. Now, this is not that unusual for Oklahoma except that one of the tornadoes resulted in a recorded wind speed of 318 MPH or 509 KM/H, the world's fastest tornado ever recorded.
What is the fastest time record of the wind on earth?
The fastest wind ever recorded on earth was 302 mph +/- 20. A DOW (Doppler On Wheels) recorded this wind in an F5 tornado near Moore, Oklahoma on May 3, 1999.
What storms has the highest wind speed--A Mid-latitude cyclonic storm B-Tornado C- Hurricane D- Thunderstorm?
Of these, a tornado produces the fastest winds.
Who of all the planets in our solar system has the fastest speed?
Of what? orbit: Mercury spin: Jupiter wind: Neptune
