Yes. Winds to 302 mph +/- 20 were recorded in one tornado near Oklahoma City on May 3, 1999. Winds this strong and possibly stronger have likely in other tornadoes as well.
However, tornadoes this strong are extremely rare.

Contains the most violent of all winds?
Tornadoes are considered the most violent of all winds, with wind speeds that can exceed 300 miles per hour. These fast-moving columns of air can cause significant damage and destruction in their path.
What is the average Tornado wind speed range?
The average wind speed range for tornadoes is between 110 to 200 miles per hour. However, some tornadoes can have wind speeds exceeding 300 miles per hour, particularly the most intense ones known as EF5 tornadoes.
What is the range of wind speeds for tornadoes?
The weakest tornadoes have estimated winds of 65 mph (105 km/h); this is a low end EF0. The very strongest are believed to have winds just over 300 mph (480 km/h); this is a strong EF5. A tornado this strong is extremely rare. The most damage is caused by tornadoes rated EF3 and higher, with estimated winds over 135 mph (217 km/h).
Tornadoes can spin up to how many miles per hour?
Tornadoes can spin at speeds ranging from around 100 to 300 miles per hour, with the strongest tornadoes capable of reaching speeds over 300 mph.
Can a wind speed be 100 miles per hour?
Yes. Hurricanes, tornadoes, and sometimes severe thunderstorms can produce 100 mph winds, which can cause severe damage. Sometimes winds may be much faster. Tornadic winds have been clocked at over 300 mph.
How many miles per hour does an average tornado's winds blow?
An average tornado would probably be in the mid EF1 range with peak winds of 90 to 100 miles per hour. The tornadoes that make national news are usually much stronger.
Do tornadoes have winds near 300 miles?
The very strongest tornadoes produce winds that can exceed 300 miles per hour, but such tornadoes are rare. Most tornadoes are much less intense, with peak wind speeds of 100 miles per hour or less. For clarification, a mile is a unit of distance, not speed. Not tornado is anywhere near 300 miles across.
How many miles per hour do winds produced by tornadoes blow?
It varies widley. Even within a single tornado the peak winds experience by any particular point can differ significantly over a short distance. Weak tornadoes have been recorded with maxumum winds of less than 60 mph. By contrast, the very strongest tornadoes will produce gusts to over 300 mph.
The most frequent tornadoes carry wind speeds of what?
Most tornadoes are rated EF0 with estimated winds of 65 to 85 miles per hour. The tornadoes that cause major damage have much stronger winds, but are also less common.
How fast are the winds in a tornadoes?
Winds in tornadoes can vary widely, but they can reach speeds of up to 300 mph (480 km/h) in the most severe tornadoes. The Enhanced Fujita Scale categorizes tornadoes by wind speed and resulting damage.
Has England ever had any extreme weather conditions?
Yes it has had winds over 100 miles an hour, tornadoes and floods.
Why do they use mph for hurricanes and tornadoes?
The mph most often refers to these speed of the winds in miles per hour. Though for tornadoes this number is nearly always an estimate.
Is the windiest planet?
Neptune. The winds on Neptune blow at more than 2000 kilometers per hour (1200 miles per hour).
What is the typical wind speeds within a tornado?
A typical tornado likely has peak winds in the range of 70-100 miles per hour, capable of causing EF0 to EF1 damage. The tornadoes that cause major damage usually have peak winds of at least 140 miles per hour and are in the strongest 5% of tornadoes.
How high can the wind speed go?
The fastest winds on Earth occur in exceptionally violent tornadoes. There winds may, on rare occasions, exceed 300 miles per hour.
What is the speeds of tornados?
If you mean wind speed, winds can range from 65 mph to over 300 mph, though most tornadoes have winds in the range of 65-85 mph. The most destructive tornadoes have winds over 135 mph. Winds over 200mph are extremely rare. The forwards traveling speed of a tornado can range from 0 mph to 73 mph (the record so far). The average tornado moves at 35 mph.
What can the wind speeds reach in a tornado?
In rare cases the winds in a tornado may exceed 300 miles per hour, though only small portions of the path would be affected by such extreme winds. The wind in most tornadoes will not be over 100 miles per hour.
