It is believed that the strongest winds are usually about 30 feet above the ground, as this height is above most obstacles but low enough that there is still a lot of converging wind.
The strongest winds in a tornado are typically on the right side of the tornado's path, known as the "right-front quadrant." This area can experience wind speeds exceeding 200 mph, making it the most dangerous part of the tornado.
A funnel cloud is a rotating column of air that does not reach the ground, while a tornado is a funnel cloud that extends to the ground and causes damage. Both are formed from the same weather conditions and can be associated with severe thunderstorms.
The fastest winds on earth occur in tornadoes. In extreme cases they can exceed 300 mph.
That would be the tornado that destroyed the town of Sneed, Arkansas on April 10, 1929. It is the only known F5 tornado to have hit Arkansas.
The most destructive part of a tornado is typically the vortex, which is the rotating column of air that extends from the base of the tornado to the ground. The strongest winds and most intense damage occur within this rotating column.

The strongest winds in a tornado are typically on the right side of the tornado's path, known as the "right-front quadrant." This area can experience wind speeds exceeding 200 mph, making it the most dangerous part of the tornado.
The very strongest of tornadoes have winds over 300mph (480 km/h).
It depends on the tornado. If it is a single vortex tornado the winds near at the edge of the core will be the fastest. However, many of the strongest tornadoes are multivortex, meaning that they have smaller vorticies (almost like mini tornadoes) inside the main vortex. In a multivortex tornado the fastest winds are within these subvortices.
Both are, but it is probably more likely with a tornado.

The main part of the circulation of a tornado when the strongest winds occur is called the core.
It depends on the tornado. In most tornadoes the strongest winds are near the center. In multivortex tornadoes, however, the strongest winds are in the subvorticies, which are almost like smaller tornadoes within a larger one.
It varies widely. The weakest have winds of about 65 mph, while the strongest have winds over 300 mph.
A tornado often appears dark were it is touching the ground be cause the powerful winds of the tornado lift dirt from the ground.
The strongest winds in a tornado can reach speeds of over 300 mph (480 km/h), typically found in the most destructive tornadoes known as EF5 tornadoes. These extremely high winds can cause significant damage to structures and landscapes in their path.
Tornadoes produce the strongest winds on Earth, occasionally exceeding 300 mph.
