What famous tornado was in 1925?
On March 18, 1925 the Tri-State tornado tracked across parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. With a death toll of 695 it was the deadliest tornado in U.S. history. The tornado traveled 219 miles in 3 hours and 29 minutes, at times traveling at 73 mph. This makes it the farthest traveled, longest lived, and fastest moving tornado ever recorded. It was an F5 on the Fujita scale and at times was up to a mile wide.

Can tornado travel forward at speeds ranging from 30-70 mph?
Yes, forwards speeds closer to 30 mph are more common, though at least one tornado has traveled at over 70 mph. The average forward speed for a tornado is 35 mph. Some tornadoes travel slower though, and can even be stationary.

Do tornadoes move from were they have come out the sky?
Yes, it is rare for a tornado to be stationary. The average forwards Speed of a tornado is 35mph and the average distance traveled is 5 miles. One record-breaking tornado traveled 219 miles and at times moved at 73 mph. It was the fastest moving, farthest traveling, and deadliest tornado in U.S. history.
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.
Is a tornado faster than a car?
In terms of wind speed, Yes. A tornado is usually rotating at about over 70 mph, but wind speeds can exceed 300 mph, though tornadoes this strong are extremely rare. But even then 20% of tornadoes have winds in excess of 110 mph. In terms of forwards speed generally not. The average tornado travels at 35 mph, the fastest recorded traveled at 73mph. However, these speeds are still fast and the path of a tornado is difficult or impossible to predict, making it unwise to attempt to outrun a tornado.
How much time does it take for a tornado to pass in one mile?
It varies as different tornadoes move at different speeds. The average tornado, however, moves at about 30 mph. At this speed a tornado would travel a mile in two minutes. Some slow moving tornadoes may move at 10 mph or less. At 10 mph a tornado would travel a mile in six minutes. Some of the fastest-moving tornadoes have traveled at 70 mph. At this speed a tornado would move a mile in just over 50 seconds.
