They can have such winds. The estimated winds for an EF0, the weakest level, start at 105 km/h. Estimated winds for and EF5 tornado, the highest level, start at 322 km/h, but tornadoes this strong are very rare. The highest wind speed recorded in a tornado was 486 km/h, but this was at a point in the tornado well above the ground. Recently, ground level winds of about 400 km/h have been estimated based on damage.
