Depends on what you mean. Tornadoes typically travel at about 30 mph, but forward speeds can range from 0 to over 70 mph.
The speed of the winds inside a tornado can be as low as 65 mph or as high as over 300 mph.

Category F0: Gale tornado (40-72 mph); light damage. Some damage to chimneys; break branches off trees; push over shallow-rooted trees; damage to sign boards.
Category F1: Moderate tornado (73-112 mph); moderate damage. The lower limit is the beginning of hurricane wind speed; peel surface off roofs; mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned; moving autos pushed off the roads.
Category F2: Significant tornado (113-157 mph); considerable damage. roofs torn off frame houses; mobile homes demolished; boxcars pushed over; large trees snapped or uprooted; light-object missiles generated.
Category F3: Severe tornado (158-206 mph); Severe damage. Roofs and some walls torn off well-constructed houses; trains overturned; most trees in forest uprooted; heavy cars lifted off ground and thrown.
Category F4: Devastating tornado (207-260 mph); Devastating damage. Well-constructed houses leveled; structure with weak foundation blown off some distance; cars thrown and large missiles generated.
Category F5: Incredible tornado (261-318 mph); Incredible damage. Strong frame houses lifted off foundations and carried considerable distance to disintegrate; automobile sized missiles fly through the air in excess of 100 yards; trees debarked; incredible phenomena will occur.

Tornado ground speed?
I believe you are asking how fast tornadoes can travel. This varies. The average tornado moves at 35 miles per hour. Tornadoes may be stationary or may, in very rare cases, move at over 70 mph.
What are the 3 general categories of tornadoes?
Tornadoes are sometimes divided into "weak" tornadoes "strong" and "violent" tornadoes. Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 and EF1. Most tornadoes are weak. Strong tornadoes are those rated EF2 and EF3. Violent tornadoes are those rated EF4 and EF5. They are the rarest of tornadoes, only about 1% of tornadoes are this strong.
How fast do tornadoes get?
really fast

The winds in tornadoes are fast, but tornadoes themselves do not necessarily move fast. Some tornadoes do move very fast. A few have traveled at over 70 mph. Meanwhile, others have crawled along at less than 10 mph, with some not moving at all. A typical tornado moves at 30 to 35 mph.
How fast can a tornadoes winds move?
Tornadoes can have winds over 300 mph. Tornadoes this strong are extremely rare though.
