Tornadoes can vary greatly in size, with most being around 100-600m wide and staying on the ground for a few minutes to an hour. The largest tornadoes, known as "wedge" tornadoes, can be over 1 mile wide and stay on the ground for an extended period of time.

A tornado's strength is not determined by the size of its eye. The eye of a tornado is typically small and calm, surrounded by a larger area of intense winds known as the eyewall. The strength of a tornado is measured by its wind speed and the amount of damage it causes, not by the size of its eye.


How big is the biggest F5 tornado?

It is not known for certain, but a likely candidate was the tornado that hit Seneca, Kansas on May 27, 1896. At one point the tornado was 2.2 miles wide. The largest tornado ever recorded was the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013, measured at one point to be 2.6 miles wide. This tornado was officially rated EF3 as it was over open country when it reached peak intensity and so caused relatively little damage at that point. Radar analysis, however, suggests that it may have reached EF5 intensity.
