It depends on the tornado. If it is a single vortex tornado the winds near at the edge of the core will be the fastest. However, many of the strongest tornadoes are multivortex, meaning that they have smaller vorticies (almost like mini tornadoes) inside the main vortex.
In a multivortex tornado the fastest winds are within these subvortices.
The fastest storm on record is the Tri-State Tornado, which occurred in the central US in 1925. With estimated wind speeds reaching up to 300 mph, it holds the title for the fastest tornado ever recorded.
Wind moving in two directions over a prairie makes air in the middle spin. This is the beginning of a tornado.
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).
The spinning of air caused by wind from two directions converging over a prairie is the beginning of a vortex, which can develop into a tornado if the right conditions are present.
Tornado,Tornado the speed near the center up to 100m / s ~ 200m / s, maximum 300m / s, the maximum wind speed is faster several times than the typhoon center .Its destructive is very strong.
A tornado with the fastest known wind speeds would be classified as an EF5 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. EF5 tornadoes have estimated wind speeds of over 200 mph (322 km/h) and cause extreme damage.
The fastest winds measured in a tornado were 302 mph in a tornado that struck the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999. However, other tornadoes may have had faster winds that were not measured, as it is rare to get an actual wind measurement from a tornado. The fastest known traveling speed of a tornado was 73 mph in the Tr-State tornado of March 18, 1925.
No. The fastest wind gust ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph. By comparison, commercial jets regularly fly at 500 mph. Some fighter jets can fly at over 1,000 mph.
The wind rotation of a tornado is typically faster in the center, which is known as the eye of the tornado. The wind speed decreases as you move away from the center towards the outer edges of the tornado.
The winds in a tornado spin, so the wind itself can come from any direction. Except for rare cases, tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
The fastest storm on record is the Tri-State Tornado, which occurred in the central US in 1925. With estimated wind speeds reaching up to 300 mph, it holds the title for the fastest tornado ever recorded.
On May 03, 1999, a series of tornadoes hit the suburbs of Oklahoma City. Now, this is not that unusual for Oklahoma except that one of the tornadoes resulted in a recorded wind speed of 318 MPH or 509 KM/H, the world's fastest tornado ever recorded.
Wind moving in two directions over a prairie makes air in the middle spin. This is the beginning of a tornado.
The fastest winds ever recorded in a tornado were 301 mph +/- 20. However, other tornadoes may have been stronger, but had no measurements taken.
Of these, a tornado produces the fastest winds.
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).
No the fastest a tornado is known to have traveled is 73 mph. The fastest winds ever recorded in a tornado were just over 300mph, which is about as strong as they get.
