How fast does an F5 tornado move?
There is no given forward speed for a tornado of any rating. Like most tornadoes, an F5 can be anywhere from stationary to moving at 70 mph. Wind speeds inside an EF5 tornado (essentially the same rating with corrected wind speeds) are in excess of 200 mph.
Why tornado wind speeds are not considered in determining the wind speed for a location?
First it is nearly impossible to determine exactly where a tornado will hit or how strong it will be in a given location. Also, direct measurement of tornado winds is rare, so it is not known exactly how fast the winds in a tornado are, especially at and near ground level, most often it it estimated from damage.
Why do the winds in a tornado reach such high speeds?
Winds in a tornado are extremely high because the pressure at the center of the tornado is much less than its surroundings, and this pressure drop occurs over a very small distance. Differences in pressure are what cause most winds. The greater the pressure difference over a given area, the greater the wind speed.
How fast do F5 tornado winds blow?
Tornado ratings are based on damage, so the wind speeds for any given rating are estimates. The original estimated wind speed range for an F5 tornado was 261-318 mph. This estimate is now believed to have been too high. Currently, a tornado with estimate winds in excess of 200 mph is rated EF5, though the damage inflicted is the same as that from an F5.
How fast does a tornado happen?
A tornado can form in a matter of minutes and usually lasts a few minutes. Some last just a few seconds while in rare cases a tornado may last few a few hours. A tornado is usually not over any given spot for more than a few second, but a large and/or slow moving one may impact a given location for several minutes.

How fast does an EF4 tornado go?
There is no such thing as an E4 tornado. An EF4 tornado has peak estimated winds of 166-200 mph. In some cases, however a tornado rated EF4 may have been capable of producing EF5 damage (winds over 200 mph) but did not impact any structures that culd yield an EF5 rating.
Is a tornado given a number?
No, but it is given a rating based on the EF scale which ranges from EF0-EF5. EF0- Weakest tornado. EF5- Most violent tornado.

What was the tornado given name in Auckland?
Tornadoes are not given names as hurricanes are, but are often referred to by where they hit. So it would be called the Auckland tornado.
What is the wind speeds and damage path and name of the most violent tornado?
There is no exact way of determining what the most violent tornado. The fastest winds ever recorded in a tornado were 302 mph, though others may have been stronger as most tornadoes never have their winds measured. The tornado had a damage path 38 miles long and at times 1 mile wide through the suburbs of Oklahoma city and nearby countryside. Tornadoes are not given real names but are instead referred to by where and when they hit. This tornado is called tha Moore, Oklahoma, or Oklahoma, City tornado of May 3, 1999. It was also one of the most destructive tornadoes, causing over $1billion in damage and was rated F5. What was by far the worst tornado in U.S. history never had its winds measured, though they may have been over 300 mph. The tornado had a damage path 219 miles long (a record) and 3/4 to 1 mile wide. This tornado is known as the Tri-Sate tornado. In addition to having the longest damage path this was also the deadliest U.S tornado with a death toll of 695, and the fastest moving, with a forward speed of 73 mph. It was also probably an F5.
