Best Answer

By the standards of the Enhanced Fujita scale the minimum wind speed for an EF0 tornado is 65 mph. However, simply having a wind at or above this intensity is not enough for there to be a tornado. A tornado is a violently rotating vortex of wind, not just a gust above a certain strength.
