How long do a tornado's winds last?
There are two ways to interpret this question but in both cases the duration can vary greatly. In terms of how long the tornado itself lasts, most are on the ground for one to five minutes. Major tornadoes, however, often persist for twenty minutes or more and may last for well over an hour. In terms of how long a given spot is exposed to tornadic winds, it depends on how big the tornado is and how fast it is moving. An "average" tornado is about 100 yards wide and travels at 30 miles per hour, which works out to a duration of about 7 seconds for a given location. A half-mile wide tornado moving at the same speed will take a full minute to pass over a spot. Tornadoes may be stationary or travel at more than 70 miles per hour and can range in size from less than ten yards to more than two miles. One tornado was observed to have stayed in the same place for more than 90 minutes.
How many different types of winds are there?
There are generally five main types of winds: trade winds, westerlies, polar easterlies, tropical easterlies, and jet streams. These wind patterns are influenced by the Earth's rotation and temperature differences between regions.
How many minutes does a tornado last?

How fast does light travel in five minutes?
Light travels at a constant velocity, no matter what time it is given to travel. Light would travel at exactly 299,792,458 ms-1 in five minutes, but only in a vacuum.
What describes how fast something is going?
How fast something is going can be described in two ways. The most common is speed. This is simply the distance a body moves in a set time, if a body moves ten metres in two seconds its speed is five metres per second. The other way is mostly used in things like physics. It is called velocity, and simply means the speed of a body in a certain direction, ie. five metres per second northwards.

What are the top five strongest tornadoes?
That is difficult to determine as the vast majority of tornadoes never have their winds measured. The highest intensity rating a tornado can get is F5 (now EF5), but it is difficult to determine whether one F5 tornado is stronger than another. The highest winds ever recorded in a tornado were 302 mph in the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999, though other tornadoes that never had wind measurements may have been stronger. A few other tornadoes that might be candidates for the top 5 list include: The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925 The Xenia, Ohio tornado of April 3, 1974 The Andover, Kansas tornado of April 26, 1991 The Jarrell, Texas tornado of May 27, 1997
