Tornado Classification
Most tornadoes rotate in a counterclockwise direction in the Northen Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. |
Wind Speed in a Tornado:
Tornadoes are classified into five categories, based on wind speed and the resulting damage. The average wind speeds in most tornadoes are about 112 mph (180 km/h) or less. Winds in the most extreme tornadoes can be over 300 mph (500 km/h).
Tornadoes are classified using a scale called the Fujita Scale, which measures both wind speed and the damage it causes.
