Sort of.

Tornadoes develop from a larger circulation called a mesocyclone which is typically 2 to 6 miles wide. A tornado develops when forces within a thunderstorms cause the bottom portion of the mesocyclone to shrink and extend towards the ground.

This is where the conservation of angular momentum comes into play. As the radius of a rotating body decreases its speed increases.

However, the strongest of tornadoes are often very large, sometimes over a mile wide.

Small tornadoes are not necessarily weak, although they are usually weaker than large ones. Some small tornadoes have been rated F4 and F5. So although most small tornadoes have winds of less than 110 mph, some can still have winds in excess of 200 mph.
