It depends. Some people mistakenly refer to the size of a tornado as its length, while width is a more appropriate term. No tornado has ever come close to 10 miles wide. However, in terms of. Path length, or the distance a tornado travels, a tornado can easily go for 10 miles or more. The most destructive tornadoes often have path lengths of 20 to 50 miles.
