No, in most cases the spinning is faster than the updraft. This may vary between different tornadoes, though.

Is wind associated with tornadoes?

Yes. Tornadoes produce powerful winds that rotate about a central axis and move up. Outside the tornado wind spirals inward. In some tornadoes smaller vortices develop inside the main circulation.


What are the wind and pressure characteristics of a tornado?

The pressure inside a tornado is low compared to its surroundings, though exactly how low pressure can get in a tornado is unknown as few measurements have been taken, but it is generally accepted that the lower the pressure in a tornado, the stronger it is. Wind in a tornado moves in a circular fashion very rapidly, so the tornado is actually a type of powerful vortex. On rare occasions these winds can exceed 200 or even 300 mph (320 or 480 km/h). In addition winds in a tornado move upward very quickly at speeds similar to those of the rotation. Air near the tornado spirals inward


Can a tornado move west?
