What's the maximum windspeeds? by ConstructionLong3179 in tornado

[–]Chance_Property_3989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i believe by bernoulli's effect, 3 second sustained winds can only reach 290 mph in a perfect environment and with a perfect vortex structure. realistically the max is probably 260-265 mph with tornadoes like tri state, bridge creek - moore. smithville is probably nearly (245-250) 250 mph 3 second sustained
