What is the range of wind speeds for tornadoes?
The weakest tornadoes have estimated winds of 65 mph (105 km/h); this is a low end EF0. The very strongest are believed to have winds just over 300 mph (480 km/h); this is a strong EF5. A tornado this strong is extremely rare. The most damage is caused by tornadoes rated EF3 and higher, with estimated winds over 135 mph (217 km/h).
A hurricane has slower wind speeds then a tornado yet it inflicts more total damage How might this be explained?
Hurricanes can cause more damage for two reasons. First they affect a much larger area than tornadoes, typically a few hundred miles. Second, they produce heavy flooding in addition to strong winds. Also, there is some overlap in wind intensity. For example a category 3 hurricane (111-130 mph) produces winds in the estimated range as an EF2 tornado (111-135 mph).
Is a tornado stronger than a hurricane?
That depends on how strong the tornado is or how strong the earthquake is. However, a typical earthquake is very small (magnitude of only 1 or 2 or less) and are rarely devastating. So on average, yes, a tornado is stronger.

How fast is 135 feet in per second?
If you go 135 feet in a second, you travel 135*60 feet in a minute:and you would travel 135*60*60 feet in an hour.5280 feet is a mile, so you would travel (135*60*60)/5280 miles per hour(135*60*60)/5280 = 92 mph (rounded)
What states will the hurricane Helene hit?
Hurricane Helene was the strongest hurricane in the 1958 Atlantic hurricane season, reaching peak winds of 135 miles per hour (217 km/h) and tied with Hurricane Ilsa as the strongest tropical cyclone of the season. The system moved to the north of the West Indies and skirted the coast of the Southeast United States before moving through the Atlantic shipping lanes offshore Newfoundland.[1] Helene was the only hurricane of the season to impact the United States. Because the hurricane remained offshore, winds and rainfall were confined to the immediate coastline of North Carolina. Damage amounted to US$11 million ($72 million in 2005 USD), making Helene the costliest storm of the season.
