The fastest winds measured in a tornado were 302 mph in a tornado that struck the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999. However, other tornadoes may have had faster winds that were not measured, as it is rare to get an actual wind measurement from a tornado.

The fastest known traveling speed of a tornado was 73 mph in the Tr-State tornado of March 18, 1925.

The upper limit of tornado in not quite known. The strongest winds ever measured in a tornado were 302 mph (486 km/h), but wind measurements from tornadoes are rare, so some tornadoes may have been stronger.
