Marie Koehn + Matt Hastings
Fact or Fiction
Yes, tornadoes usually do travel
30 to 40 mph. Most of the time
tornadoes travel moderately fast.
They travel north to northeast. Every
once in awhile they might travel
southeast to strait east. The
winds inside the tornado usually
gust 200 to 300 mph. The average
tornado cuts a path of an eighth
of a mile.
Kirsten Blosser
Brian Bretz
The smallest tornado went through Missouri.
False: The greatest killing tornado
went through 3 states Missouri,
Indiana, and Illinoise. It happened
on March 18 1925. 689 people were
killed in the tragic storm.
Fact or Fiction
Tornadoes are classified
on the Fujita-Pearson scale.
Fact. Tornadoes are classified on
the Fujita-Pearson scale. The scale links
maximum wind speed, path length, and path
width. Example: A 0,0,0 tornado would have
maximum wind speeds of lower than 117 km/h
a path length below 1.6 km, and a path
width no greater than 16 m; A 5,5,5 - wind
speeds of 420-512 km/h, path length of 161-
507 km, and a path width of 1.6-5.0 km.
The Fujita scale for Damaging Winds uses
only the first digit of the Fujita-Pearson Scale
