They range from about 65 mph to about over 200mph with lower wind speeds being more common.

The upper limit is believed to be just over 300 mph.

Which direction will the wind blow when a tornado is near?

That varies. If you are close enough to be in the area of the tornado's inflow then the wind will blow almost directly towards the tornado, perhaps a little to the right of that direction. In that case the wind direction will depend on where the tornado is relative to you. If you are beyond the inflow area for the tornado, then nothing about the wind direction would indicate the approaching tornado.


Does a tornado suck or blow wind?

A tornado does both. The strong winds in a tornado rotate rapidly around a center, creating a low-pressure area that can suck in objects and debris from its surroundings while also blowing them around with great force.


How fast of wind speed does it take to start a tornado?

Tornadoes typically form in severe thunderstorms when there is a significant change in wind speed and direction, known as wind shear. Wind speeds in a tornado can range from 65 mph to over 200 mph, with faster winds associated with more violent tornadoes.


What was the wind speed of the Wichita falls tornado in 1979?

No wind measurements were taken from the Wichita Falls tornado, so the actual wind speed is not known. The tornado was rated F4 based on the severity of the damage it caused, which suggests peak wind speeds in the range of 207-260 mph. However, recent evidence suggests that the original Fujita scale used to rate this tornado may overestimate the wind speeds needed to inflict F3 and higher damage, so winds may not have been quite so fast.

How fast the winds blow in a tornado is called the tornadoes?

The speed of the winds in a tornado is called the tornado's wind speed. It is usually measured using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which categorizes tornadoes based on the estimated wind speed. The wind speed can vary greatly depending on the tornado's intensity, with stronger tornadoes having faster wind speeds.
