The wind speed ranges for the levels of the Fujita scale are listed below. However in the 21st century it was found that these wind speeds, which were just estimates, were inaccurate for the damage levels that were the basis of the ratings, especially for stronger tornadoes. The corresponding winds of the more accurate enhanced Fujita scale are given in parentheses. Although the wind estimates are different, the damage by each category done is essentially the same.
F0: 40-72 mph (EF0 65-85 mph)
F1: 73-112 mph (EF1 86-110 mph)
F2: 113-157 mph (EF2 111-135 mph)
F3: 158-206 mph (EF3 136-165 mph)
F4: 207-260 mph (EF4 166-200 mph)
F5: 261-318 mph (EF5 over 200 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.
i think the middle of the tornado is completely still.
Winds in a tornado can get up to 300 mph.
The Tornado's max speed is 1,490 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.
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.
A Tornado is swirly fast wind, a flood is rising water levels...
depends on size of the tornado anywhere from 65 to over 300 mph.
There is no evidence that there are tornadoes on Venus.
