That is difficult to determine as the vast majority of tornadoes never have their winds measured. The highest intensity rating a tornado can get is F5 (now EF5), but it is difficult to determine whether one F5 tornado is stronger than another. The highest winds ever recorded in a tornado were 302 mph in the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999, though other tornadoes that never had wind measurements may have been stronger.
A few other tornadoes that might be candidates for the top 5 list include:
The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925
The Xenia, Ohio tornado of April 3, 1974
The Andover, Kansas tornado of April 26, 1991
The Jarrell, Texas tornado of May 27, 1997
