The fastest wind recorded in a tornado was 302 mph in the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999. Other tornadoes in history may have had faster winds, but actualy wind measurements from tornadoes are rare.
On May 3, 1999, a strong F-5 tornado hit the Bridge Creek area SW of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Doppler radar wind speeds of 302 mph (486 kph) at a point about 100 feet of the ground. This was revised down from an earlier estimated of 318 mph (512 kph).
The highest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph +/- 20. This was in the F5 tornado that hit Moore, Oklahoma on May 3, 1999.
However, it is relatively rare for winds in a tornado to be measured directly so other tornadoes which did not have their winds measured may have had faster winds.

What was the wind speed the worlds biggest tornado?
The largest tornado ever recorded was the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013. This tornado was 2.6 miles wide. Doppler radar measured a wind gust in the tornado at 296 mph, the second highest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado.
What is the highest tornado category?
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.
Is f4 the biggest tornado?
No. The highest rating a tornado can receive on the Fujita scale is F5. F4 is the second highest rating. Even then, while very strong tornadoes tend to be large, ratings are not based on size; they are based on the severity of damage the tornado inflicts.
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.
Is f1 the biggest tornado?
No. For one thing, Fujita (F) scale ratings measure the strength of a tornado, not its size. F1 is the second weakest rating a tornado can get (F0 is the weakest). Weak tornadoes such as this are generally small, but occasionally can be large. The highest rating a tornado can get is F5.
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.
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).
