How many miles long are tornadoes?

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.
