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)

What is the name of fast moving and destructive windstorm?
A tornado.
How do scientist know how fast a tornado is going?
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.
Is a tornado a slow process or a rapid process?
In terms of weather a tornado is a very fast process.
What happens after surface winds slow down in a tornado due to ground friction?
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.
How fast were the winds of the Flint-Beecher tornado?
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.
How fast is the middle of a tornado?
i think the middle of the tornado is completely still.
How fast is the fastestest tornado?
Winds in a tornado can get up to 300 mph.
How fast does a tornado jet go?
The Tornado's max speed is 1,490 mph
Does a tornado have wind?
A tornado IS wind- very fast winds spinning in a circle.
Explain the difference between how fast a tornado is moving and how fast its rotational winds are?
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.
Where does the damage come from the most in a tornado?
Most damage in a tornado is caused by the extremely fast winds.
How do people know how fast a tornado goes?
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.
How fast are the wind speeds in a tornado?
depends on size of the tornado anywhere from 65 to over 300 mph.
What is the difference between a tornado or flood?
A Tornado is swirly fast wind, a flood is rising water levels...

What is the name of fast moving and destructive windstorm?
