Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tornadoes are known for having the highest wind speeds of any weather phenomenon. The winds in the strongest tornadoes can exceed 300 miles per hour (480 kilometers per hour). While hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones also have strong winds, they typically don't reach the same speeds as tornadoes. Derechos, on the other hand, are a type of wind storm and can have very strong winds, but they are not typically as intense as tornadoes.
