The fastest Tornado to have its recorded had winds of 301 mph, though others may have had higher winds, but not had them measured as such measurements are rare.
Tornadoes typically have winds between 40 mph and 110 mph.
In terms of traveling speed most tornadoes travel at 30 to 40 mph. Though some tornadoes are stationary and one was clocked at 73 mph.
A tornado.
Doppler radar tracks the movement of the storm and can determine how fast it's going and, to a very limited degree, how fast its winds are. However, in nearly all cases the wind speeds reported in a tornado are estimated based on the severity of the damage that has been done.
In terms of weather a tornado is a very fast process.
When surface winds slow down in a tornado due to ground friction, the tornado may weaken or dissipate altogether. This is because a tornado's strength is dependent on the fast rotation of air at the surface, so when this rotation slows down, the tornado's intensity is reduced.
It is impossible to know exactly how fast the winds were as we did not have the tools to measure a tornado's winds back then. But since the tornado was rated F5 (equivalent to EF5 on the new scale) winds were probably well over 200 mph.
The Tornado's max speed is 1,490 mph
600 mph
20 knots upwind, 33 knots downwind.
You either drive as fast and carefully away from the tornado, or if there is a tornado shelter nearby, hide in it. Don't go under a bridge or overpass since these act as windtunnels.
i think the middle of the tornado is completely still.
Winds in a tornado can get up to 300 mph.
A tornado IS wind- very fast winds spinning in a circle.
How fast a tornado is moving refers to how fast the tornado itself travels from point A to point B. For example, a tornado moving towards at 30 mph and is a mile away will reach you in 2 minutes. The rotational winds of a tornado refers to how fast the tornado itself is spinning, which is generally faster than its forward speed.
It varies widely. A typical tornado travels at between 30 and 40 mph, but some tornadoes are stationary, while others can travel at over 70 mph.
Most damage in a tornado is caused by the extremely fast winds.
In terms of how fast a tornado is moving, the tornado is tracked on radar. The forward speed is calculated based on how far it moves in a given period of time. The wind speed of a tornado is estimated based on the severity of the damage it causes.
depends on size of the tornado anywhere from 65 to over 300 mph.
