The speed of the winds in a tornado is called the tornado's wind speed. It is usually measured using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which categorizes tornadoes based on the estimated wind speed. The wind speed can vary greatly depending on the tornado's intensity, with stronger tornadoes having faster wind speeds.
Wind speeds in a tornado can range from 65 mph to over 300 mph (105 km/h to 480 km/h), with some of the most intense tornadoes exhibiting wind speeds over 200 mph (320 km/h). The speed of wind in a tornado can vary depending on the strength and size of the tornado.
Wind speeds in a tornado can vary widley. Very weak tornado produce winds of about 65 mph. The most viiolent can have winds over 300 mph. Lower wind speeds are more common.
A tornado IS wind- very fast winds spinning in a circle.
We do not know. The Natchez tornado was in 1840, and it is hard to get reliable information from records that old. The tornado itself was probably an F4 or F5, which would put wind speeds in the range of 200 mph or more, but that does not indicate anything about how fast the tornado itself moved.
Wind speeds inside of a tornado can vary greatly, with the most intense tornadoes having wind speeds exceeding 200 mph (322 km/h). The wind speeds near the center of the tornado, known as the eyewall, are typically the strongest, while the winds may be more variable toward the tornado's outer edges.
Scientists use the severity of damage that a tornado causes to estimate wind speed.
Meteorologists use various techniques to measure tornado wind speeds, such as Doppler radar, damage surveys, or remote sensing instruments. By analyzing these data and environmental conditions, they can estimate the wind speeds of a tornado. Additionally, tornado wind speeds are often inferred based on the damage pattern left behind, as the Enhanced Fujita Scale correlates damage severity with wind speeds.
40-72 mph
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.
A tornado with the fastest known wind speeds would be classified as an EF5 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. EF5 tornadoes have estimated wind speeds of over 200 mph (322 km/h) and cause extreme damage.
