It depends on what you mean by how long a tornado is.
Path length is the distance a tornado travels rather than any dimension of the tornado itself. A typical tornado has a path length of between half a mile and five miles long. Very brief tornadoes may only travel a few yards, while major tornadoes may be on the ground for more than 50 or even 100 miles.
Path width is the actual diameter of the tornado at the ground. Most tornadoes are between 50 and 200 yards wide, but very large tornadoes can be over a mile or, in extremely rare cases, over two miles wide.
The actual vortex of a tornado extends above cloud base anywhere from a mile to ten miles into the sky.

Why do people think there are so many tornadoes in the UK?
The UK has a high concentration of tornadoes, but these tornadoes are generally so weak that they attract little attention. Technically, the UK gets more tornadoes per 10,000 square miles than the U.S. does on average. Many people misintepret this as meaning that the UK gets more tornadoes, but this is not the case. The U.S. averages more than 1,200 tornadoes a year and has an area of about 3,800,000 square miles, giving it 3.2 tornadoes per 10,000 square miles. The UK averages about 70 tornadoes per year and has an area of about 94,000 square miles, giving it an average of about 7.4 tornadoes per 10,000 square miles. However, tornadoes in the U.S. are stronger more concentrated on the central plains and in the Deep South. While the UK has only had a handful of tornadoes stronger than F1 in the past 50 years, the U.S. expriences F4 and F5 tornadoes on a regular basis.
How many miles long is Gaza?

Do tornadoes have winds near 300 miles?

For clarification, a mile is a unit of distance, not speed. Not tornado is anywhere near 300 miles across.
How far do tornadoes go?
