The fastest wind speed recorded in a tornado was 302 mph in the Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999. However, wind measurements in tornadoes are rare and it is likely that other tornadoes had faster winds but did not have them measured.

The fastest speed a tornado is known to have traveled is 73 mph. That was the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. This tornado also holds the record for duration (3 hours, 29 minutes), path length (219 miles), and U.S. death toll (695).

What are the worlds biggest and fastest tornadoes?

The largest tornado on record was the Hallam, Nebraska tornado of May 22, 2004 at 2.5 miles wide. The tornado with the fastest measured winds was the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999 with winds of 302 mph. However since most tornadoes do not have their winds measured it is very likely that some other tornadoes had faster winds. The tornado with the fastest forward speed was the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. At times it traveled at 73 mph.

What part of the tornado has the fastest winds?

In a single-vortex tornado the fastest winds are found at the outer edge of the core, generally on the tornado's right side in the northern hemisphere and the left side in the southern. In a multiple-vortex tornado the fastest winds are found in the subvortices within the main circulation.
