Compared with other types of storm tornadoes are small, short-lived, unpredictable, and violent. This makes it difficult to obtain actual wind measurements, as it is hard to get the necessary equipment in the right place at the right time, and equipment that goes into the tornado may be destroyed.
Because of this, we usually have to estimate the wind speed of a tornado based on the damage it causes.
