Tornadoes have the fastest winds on earth.

Winds in a tornado can reach a little over 300 mph.

However, winds on some of the other planets are much faster. The fastest known winds in the universe occur on Neptune. They can exceed 1,000 mph.

The highest category tornado is a F5 or EF5


What was the highest ever recorded windspeeded from a tornado when and where was this recorded?

The Highest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph (some sources say 318 mph) in the F5 tornado that struck Moore and Bridgecreek Oklahoma on May 3, 1999. This tornado is sometimes referred to as the Oklahoma City tornado


Does a hurricane have the largest speed?

No. A tornado has the highest recorded wind speed. In excess of 300 mph.


What is the highest wind speed for f1 tornado?

On the original Fujita scale the top wind es for an F1 tornado were set at 112 mph. Winds estimates on the more accurate Enhanced Fujita scale were adjusted for all categories, but the upper bound for anEF1 tornado was shifted only slightly to 110 mph.


What storms has the highest wind speed--A Mid-latitude cyclonic storm B-Tornado C- Hurricane D- Thunderstorm?

Of these, a tornado produces the fastest winds.


What is the variation of wind speeds inside of a tornado?

Wind speeds inside of a tornado can vary greatly, with the most intense tornadoes having wind speeds exceeding 200 mph (322 km/h). The wind speeds near the center of the tornado, known as the eyewall, are typically the strongest, while the winds may be more variable toward the tornado's outer edges.


Does a tornado have wind?

A tornado IS wind- very fast winds spinning in a circle.


Can a tornado reach the wind speed of 100000?

No. The highest wind speeds in a tornado are estimated to be a little over 300 mph (480 km/h).


How is the damage caused by a tornado measured?

Engineers examine the damage, taking into account the type of structure and the quality of construction, and estimate what wind speeds would be needed to cause that damage. That wind speed is then used to assign a rating on the Enhanced Fujita scale. The highest-rated damage on the tornado's path will be the tornado's rating.


Is there such thing as tornado wind?

Yes, in simplest terms a tornado is a vortex of very strong wind.


Which direction will the wind blow when a tornado is near?

That varies. If you are close enough to be in the area of the tornado's inflow then the wind will blow almost directly towards the tornado, perhaps a little to the right of that direction. In that case the wind direction will depend on where the tornado is relative to you. If you are beyond the inflow area for the tornado, then nothing about the wind direction would indicate the approaching tornado.
