The upper limit of tornado is believed to be a little over 300 mph. This is not known for sure, however as the internal dynamics of tornadoes are not well understood and opportunities to study such the most violent tornadoes are very rare.
The highest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph. Other tornadoes, however, may have had faster winds that simply weren't measured. The fastest known forward speed of a tornado was 73 mph.
The fastest wind on earth occur in tornadoes, which have been known to have wind speeds in excess of 300 mph (480 km/h), far faster than anything a hurricane can produce.
Tornadoes, by a considerable amount.
The speed of the winds in a tornado is called the tornado's wind speed. It is usually measured using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which categorizes tornadoes based on the estimated wind speed. The wind speed can vary greatly depending on the tornado's intensity, with stronger tornadoes having faster wind speeds.
No. The highest wind speeds in a tornado are estimated to be a little over 300 mph (480 km/h).
The fastest winds on Earth are found in tornadoes.
Yes. The intensity of a tornado is estimated on the Enhanced Fujita scale. On this scale, engineers and meteorologists analyze damage and estimate the wind speed. The highest wind speed estimate is then used to assign a rating, ranging from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest.
yes, there is 5 levels based on the speed of the wind

The highest wind speed ever recorded in the Bahamas was 183 mph during Hurricane Dorian in 2019.
The wind speed associated with EF-3 tornadoes ranges from 136-165 mph. These tornadoes can cause severe damage, including tearing roofs off well-built houses and uprooting trees. They are considered strong tornadoes on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale.
