Not usually. While some tornadoes can produce wind gusts of 300 mph or higher, it is an extremely rare ocurrence. Most tornadoes have peak winds under 110 mph. In terms of actual forward movement, most tornadoes travel between 20 and 40 mph. Forward speeds over 70 mph are very rare.

How fast can tornados go?
35 miles per hour is the average traveling speed of a tornado, though one tornado was observed moving at 73 mph. The wind speed in a tornado can, on rare occasions, exceed 300 mph, though 80% of tornadoes have winds of 110 mph or less.
How high can the wind speed go for an elephant trunk tornado?
Contrary to popular belief, the size and shape of a tornado is not a very good indicator of intensity. In 1995 an elephant trunk tornado struck the outskirts of Pampa, Texas. Using video analysis, tornado expert Thomas Grazulis estimated the wind speed to be approximately 300 miles per hour (480 km/h).
How fast does tornado move?
The fastest forward traveling speed recorded in a tornado was 73 mph in the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph in Moore, Oklahoma F5 tornado of May 3, 1999.
Can Tornadoes generate a wind speed of 300 miles per hour?
Yes, though tornadoes that strong are extremely rare.
Can a tornado be 16 miles wide?
No, the largest tornado funnels can attain wind speeds of more than 300 mph (480 km/h) and stretch two and a half miles (4 km) across.
Do tornadoes have winds near 300 miles?
The very strongest tornadoes produce winds that can exceed 300 miles per hour, but such tornadoes are rare. Most tornadoes are much less intense, with peak wind speeds of 100 miles per hour or less. For clarification, a mile is a unit of distance, not speed. Not tornado is anywhere near 300 miles across.
How fast does an Category 5 tornado travel?
There is no such thing as a category 5 tornado. Category 5 is a rating on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. The highest rating for a tornado is EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which has estimated peak wind speeds of greater than 200 miles per hour. Winds may exceed 300 miles per hour. This is not the same as travel speed. The speed at which a tornado travels is unrelated to its rating. A typical tornado travels at about 30 miles per hour, but may be stationary or move faster than 70 miles per hour. A category 5 hurricane has sustained winds of at least 157 miles per hour. A typical hurricane travels at 10 to 25 miles per hour.
What is 300 miles per hour in miles?
You cannot convert between the two. 300 miles per hour is a measure of speed. A mile is a measure of distance.
How fast can tornados go?
35 miles per hour is the average traveling speed of a tornado, though one tornado was observed moving at 73 mph. The wind speed in a tornado can, on rare occasions, exceed 300 mph, though 80% of tornadoes have winds of 110 mph or less.

What is the speeds of tornados?
If you mean wind speed, winds can range from 65 mph to over 300 mph, though most tornadoes have winds in the range of 65-85 mph. The most destructive tornadoes have winds over 135 mph. Winds over 200mph are extremely rare. The forwards traveling speed of a tornado can range from 0 mph to 73 mph (the record so far). The average tornado moves at 35 mph.
How long would it take to go 300 miles going 20 miles per an hour?
Time = Distance/Speed = 300 miles/20 mph = 15 hours.Time = Distance/Speed = 300 miles/20 mph = 15 hours.Time = Distance/Speed = 300 miles/20 mph = 15 hours.Time = Distance/Speed = 300 miles/20 mph = 15 hours.
How long will it take a driver to drive 300 miles by maintaining a constant speed of 60 miles per hour?
Time = Distance/Speed = 300 miles/60 mph = 5 hours
