The very strongest of tornadoes (those rated EF5) have the strongest winds of any storm on Earth. But compared to other storms tornadoes are fairly small, rarely over a mile wide.

What is the largest tornado?

The strongest category of tornado is EF5 (F5 in countries that still use the original Fujita scale). However, although these tornadoes are the strongest they are not always the largest. In fact, for nine years the largest tornado on record, which hit Hallam, Nebraska on May 22, 2004 was an F4. Though weaker than an F5 this is still and extremely powerful tornado. This was later surpassed by the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013, which was rated EF5.

Where does the wind spin fastest in a tornado?

It depends on the tornado. If it is a single vortex tornado the winds near at the edge of the core will be the fastest. However, many of the strongest tornadoes are multivortex, meaning that they have smaller vorticies (almost like mini tornadoes) inside the main vortex. In a multivortex tornado the fastest winds are within these subvortices.


What is the largest fajita scale for a tornado?

The Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale ranges from EF0 to EF5, with EF5 being the most severe with wind speeds over 200 mph. This scale is used to estimate tornado intensity based on damage caused.
