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).

How fast does an tornado wind move?

Most tornadoes have winds in the range of about 65-85 mph. The most damaging tornadoes usually have winds over 165 mph. On rare occasions winds can exceed 300 mph.


When is the fujita scale classifiles tornadoes based on their wind speed and the?

The Fujita scale classifies tornadoes based on their estimated wind speeds and the damage they cause. It categories tornadoes on a scale from F0 to F5, with F5 being the most severe. The wind speeds associated with each category range from 65 mph for an F0 tornado to over 200 mph for an F5 tornado.


Do tornadoes have wind speeds of at least 119kmph?

No. 119 km/h is the minimum wind speed for a hurricane. Tornadoes can have winds higher or lower than that (EF0 tornado winds range from 105 to 137 km/h).


How strong do tornadoes get?

What kind of storms are classified on the Fujita Scale?

The Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes based on wind speed. It ranges from F0 (weakest) to F5 (strongest), with each category corresponding to a range of wind speeds and associated damage.

What has the fastest wind speed out of a hurricane and tornado?

Tornadoes can produce much faster winds. Maximum hurricane winds are around 200 mph while maximum tornado winds are believed to be just over 300 mph. Though in many cases winds fall into the same range.


75 mph tornado what rating on Fujita scale?

A tornado with wind speeds of 75 mph would be rated as an EF0 on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale. EF0 tornadoes have wind speeds ranging from 65 to 85 mph and are considered weak tornadoes that cause minor damage.
