There are many huge storms in Canada like tornados ....
They are very big in their own little way
--
Hurricane Hazel (1954) is still considered one of the worst storms to hit Canada.
The Ice Storm (1998) caused extensive damage over a large area of Canada.
Numerous tornadoes have cause great damage and deaths.
The Pacific Storm (1996) dumped 85 cm on the Victoria BC area in about 24hrs.
It's a long, long list of big storms
Officially, the strongest tornado in Canada was the Elie, Manitoba tornado of June 22, 2007. To date it is the only tornado in Canadian history to have been rated F5. It was not particularly large but it was intense enough to inflict F5 damage to the edge of the town of Elie. Only a few homes were destroyed and nobody was killed. A few other tornadoes, officially rated F4, have caused more damage and fatalities because they were larger and struck populated areas more directly.

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.
Not really. The very strongest tornadoes can somtimes scour away soil, but not more than that.
The Fujita scale, used to measure tornado intensity, has six levels. The scale ranges from F0 (weakest) to F5 (strongest), based on the damage caused by the tornado.
Thunderstorms, generally, can last anywhere from 30 minutes up to several hours. Thunderstorms cannot sustain themselves much longer because as the storm releases the precipitation, it cools the air and loses it's power. The atmospheric conditions that caused the storm rapidly change due to wind and temperature shifts.
The Greensburg tornado was an EF5, the strongest category of tornado.
The strongest winds in a tornado are typically on the right side of the tornado's path, known as the "right-front quadrant." This area can experience wind speeds exceeding 200 mph, making it the most dangerous part of the tornado.

Both are, but it is probably more likely with a tornado.
The main part of the circulation of a tornado when the strongest winds occur is called the core.

The reason there are no tornado drills in Canada is because there are not a great threat of tornadoes in Canada enough to have a drill.
No. EF5 is the strongest tornado on the Enhanced Fujita and therefore the most dangerous type.
