Overall, they do not. The average tornado lasts about 10 minutes, but duration may range from just a few seconds to over an hour.
They don't, usually. Most tornadoes don't last more than a few minutes. The tornadoes that do last along time are usually produced by exceptionally strong thunderstorms with very powerful updrafts. Such updrafts are not easily disrupted, and the disruption of the updraft is usually what "kills" a tornado.
Yes. Some tornadoes may last for more than an hour, but such cases are rare. Most tornadoes do not last more than 10 minutes.
No, the longest a tornado has been known to last was about 3 and a half hours.
Usually, yes. The vast majority of tornadoes last less than an hour, with a typical tornado lasting no more than 10 minutes. Occasionally, a tornado will last for more than an hour, sometimes much more. At least one tornado is believed to have lasted for more than 3 hours. Such long-lived tornadoes are usually rather strong.
Yes, of course there can be two tornadoes at the same time.
How long a tornado lasts can vary widely. The average tornado lasts about 10 minutes. But tornadoes have been known to last as little as 10 seconds and as long as 3.5 hours. Not many tornadoes last more than 30 minutes. As to when they occur, tornadoes can form at any time of day or night, but are most common in the later afternoon and early evening. Similarly, tornadoes can occur at any time of year, but happen primarily in the spring.

Generally stronger tornadoes last longer, though this is not always they case.
Weak tornadoes typically last less than 5 minutes.

Tornadoes last for 3-5 minutes. They dont really happen much anywys.... ! O.e
While stronger tornadoes tend to last longer, there is no strict relationship between the intensity of a tornado and its duration. Most F4 tornadoes last longer than 20 minutes, some for over an hour. At the same time, a few F4 tornadoes have lasted less than 5 minutes.

Weak tornadoes typically last for only a few minutes, generally ranging from a few seconds to around 10 minutes. These tornadoes are usually short-lived and localized, causing less widespread damage compared to stronger tornadoes.
No. Most tornadoes last no more than a few minutes.
The last confirmed tornado in the U.S. was an EF0 in Texas on September 17, 2011.
There is no definite length of duration or size associated with any particular category of tornado. However, stronger tornadoes tend to be larger and last longer, though not always. Most F0 an F1 tornadoes last less than 10 minutes.
