around a tornado
The strongest storm believed to have impacted Oregon was the Columbus Day storm, bringing 100 mph winds to the downtown Portland area!
The strongest tornadoes produce the fastest winds of any storm on earth, but tornadoes are small compared to most storms.
A category 5 is the strongest hurricane. Such a storm has the strongest winds and usually produces a very high storm surge.
Both are, but it is probably more likely with a tornado.
The strongest part of a hurricane is the eyewall. The strongest winds are usually on the right-hand side of the eyewall relative to the storm's motion.
Yes. Although they are small compared with other storm types, no other storm on earth can match the winds of the strongest tornadoes.
The strongest winds in a hurricane in the northern hemisphere are found on the right side of the storm...this is with respect to the direction the storm is moving. For instance, if the storm is moving north, the right side would be the eastern side of the storm. This is reversed in the southern hemisphere.
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.
Category 5 is the strongest of the 5 categories of hurricanes. It means the storm has sustained winds of at least 156 mph.
The winds in hurricanes and tornadoes have the same rotation but a hurricane has weaker winds than the strongest of tornadoes. Tornado's winds range from 65 to about 300 mph A hurricane's winds range from 74 to about 200 mph. The tornado is the most violent storm on Earth.
As with hurricanes the strongest winds are generally on the right side of a tornado.
Just outside the eye of a typhoon is the eye wall. The eye wall is where the strongest winds of the storm occur. This means sustained winds of at least 74 mph.
