No. a typical tornado moves between 25 and 40 mph. Winds in a tornado are faster, however. Some tornadoes can produce winds in excess of 300 mph, but only within a small portion of the tornado and no single location would experience such winds for more than a few seconds. The rest of the tornado will produce significantly slower, though still very strong winds. Tornadoes this strong are very rare however. Most tornadoes have peak winds of less than 110 mph.

How many miles per hour does an average tornado's winds blow?
An average tornado would probably be in the mid EF1 range with peak winds of 90 to 100 miles per hour. The tornadoes that make national news are usually much stronger.
How fast is the the tornado?
tornadoes can be stationary, or travel in excess of 65 miles per hour. It all depends on how fast the parent storm is moving.
What is the average speed of a car that travels 300 kilometers in 5 hours?
The average speed of the car is 60 kilometers per hour (300 km divided by 5 hours).
What is the average wind speed in a tornado in miles per hour?
That is difficult to determine as very few tornadoes actually have their winds measured. Wind speeds are estimated based on damage, but that is limited by how much a tornado hits. However, a reasonable estimate might be in the range of 80 to 100 mph. Very destructive tornadoes are far more powerful, with peak falling in the range of 150 to just over 300 mph. However, only a a fairly small tornadoes are this strong and even then, the strongest winds usually only affect a fairly small portion of the path.The average tornado probably has winds of about 80 to 85 mph.
What is the approximate wind speed in a tornado?
There are many wind speeds since there are different measures of tornadoes. It is measured by the Fujita Pearson Tornado Scale. If you want the wind speed for all of them . .. : F0 - 40 - 72 miles per hour F1- 73 -112 miles per hour F2- 113- 137 miles per hour F3- 138 - 205 miles per hour F4- 207 - 260 miles per hour F5- 261 - 318 miles per hour Since then these winds speeds, which are really damage based estimates, were found to be in accurate and were adjusted on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. EF0: 65-85 mph EF1: 86-110 mph EF2: 111-135 mph EF3: 136-165 mph EF4: 166-200 mph EF5: over 200 mph.
How fast does an Category 5 tornado travel?
There is no such thing as a category 5 tornado. Category 5 is a rating on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. The highest rating for a tornado is EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which has estimated peak wind speeds of greater than 200 miles per hour. Winds may exceed 300 miles per hour. This is not the same as travel speed. The speed at which a tornado travels is unrelated to its rating. A typical tornado travels at about 30 miles per hour, but may be stationary or move faster than 70 miles per hour. A category 5 hurricane has sustained winds of at least 157 miles per hour. A typical hurricane travels at 10 to 25 miles per hour.
Is a tornado powerful and dangerous?
Yes. A tornado is very powerful and dangerous, a tornado is very similar to a twister. It consists of winds traveling up to 300 miles per hour, some tornado's winds even travel faster.
How fast can a massive tornado move?
Tornadoes can move at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour (113 km/h) or even faster in extreme cases. The speed of a tornado can vary greatly depending on its size, intensity, and the surrounding atmospheric conditions.
What can the wind speeds reach in a tornado?
In rare cases the winds in a tornado may exceed 300 miles per hour, though only small portions of the path would be affected by such extreme winds. The wind in most tornadoes will not be over 100 miles per hour.
How many miles per hour does an average tornado's winds blow?
An average tornado would probably be in the mid EF1 range with peak winds of 90 to 100 miles per hour. The tornadoes that make national news are usually much stronger.
Do tornadoes have winds near 300 miles?
The very strongest tornadoes produce winds that can exceed 300 miles per hour, but such tornadoes are rare. Most tornadoes are much less intense, with peak wind speeds of 100 miles per hour or less. For clarification, a mile is a unit of distance, not speed. Not tornado is anywhere near 300 miles across.
What storm moves quickly in a narrow path and has rotation winds up to 300 miles per hour that kick up a cloud of dirt and debris?
A tornado.
How long will it take to drive 300 miles going 60miles per hour?
60 miles in one hour 300 miles in (300/60) = 5 hours
Can a tornado be 300 miles wide?
No. Tornadoes don't get anywhere close to that size. The widest tornado ever recorded was 2.6 miles wide at its maximum. A hurricane, on the other hand, can easily reach a width of 300 miles.
How fast does a tornado go in miles?
It varies widely. Some tornadoes barely move at all while others may move at over 70 mph. The average tornado moves at about 30 to 35 mph. Wind speeds in a tornado can range from about 60 mph to over 300 mph, with lower values being more common.
Which one is faster - a cheetah or a tornado?
Both are same.....Cheetah and tornado speed is 120 km/hr
How fast is the the tornado?
tornadoes can be stationary, or travel in excess of 65 miles per hour. It all depends on how fast the parent storm is moving.
