That is diffcult to determine. The fastest winds evere recorded, 302 mph, were measured in the Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999. However, only a few tornadoes ever have their winds measured, and most of those only have them measured during a small portion of their existence. So other tornadoes, which produced more extreme damage, were probably stronger. The most extreme damage on record came from the Jarrell, Texas tornado of May 27, 1997. This tornado completely scoured away a nieghborhood, blowing away not just houses but grass, streets, driveways, and up to 18 inches of soil. However the extreme degree of damage may have been partly due to its slow movement allowing it to ravage the same spot for a long time.
Other noteworthy candidates that went beyond even what is typically observed in an F5 tornado include:
The Sherman, Texas tornado of May 15, 1896
The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925
The Flint, Michigan tornado of June 8, 1953
The Smithville, Mississippi tornado of April 27, 2011
What else can I help you with?
The strongest winds are on which side of a tornado?
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.
What hurricane has the strongest wind?
The fastest winds on earth occur in tornadoes. In extreme cases they can exceed 300 mph.
How high off the ground are the strongest winds of a tornado believed to be?
The strongest winds of a tornado are thought to occur near the ground, typically within the lowest 100 feet or so. Wind speeds in tornadoes can exceed 200 mph, causing significant damage close to the surface.
What is the strongest tornado to ever hit Arkansas?
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.
Is the core of a tornado safe?
No. The core of a tornado is the area in which the strongest winds occur. Although the center itself may be calm in some tornadoes, you would still have to get through the intense winds of the tornado both going in and going out. Additionally, this eyelike structure is much smaller than the eye of a hurricane and would not likely be over any particular spot for more than a few seconds.
Where are the strongest winds in a storm?
around a tornado
The strongest winds are on which side of a tornado?
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 strongest tornado have winds over?
The very strongest of tornadoes have winds over 300mph (480 km/h).
Where does the wind spin fastest in a tornado?
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.
Which storm has the strongest fastest winds tornado hurricane or thunderstorm?
Both are, but it is probably more likely with a tornado.
Which region in the united states has the strongest winds?
tornado alley
What is the inside of tornado called?
The main part of the circulation of a tornado when the strongest winds occur is called the core.
Which part of a tornado is stronger?
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.
How fast do tornado winds go?
It varies widely. The weakest have winds of about 65 mph, while the strongest have winds over 300 mph.
What is the strongest wind for a tornado?
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.
Is there an fact of a tornado?
Tornadoes produce the strongest winds on Earth, occasionally exceeding 300 mph.
Are cyclones faster than tornadoes?
It depends on the cyclone, and the tornado. In some cases cyclone winds and tornado winds fall into the same range. However, tornado winds are generally stronger. By definition, a tornado must produce winds strong enough to cause damage; the same is not true of a cyclone. The very strongest tornadoes produce winds in excess of 300 mph, the fastest winds on earth.
