First answer: A tornado moves in a circular pattern; as a result, the wind speed depends upon the distance from the center.
Second answer:
Because of the differences on the wind speed the center of the hurricane or tornado becomes surrounded by fast moving masses of air and debris, like a wall.These winds are spinning so fast that they cannot reach the center.

Are tornadoes calm?
No. Tornadoes are violent.
Does a tornado have a calm spot?
Yes. Many tornadoes have a calm center similar to the eye of a hurricane.
How do scientists predict and study tornadoes?
In the long term tornadoes are predicted by looking at factors such as temperature and wind speed and direction at different levels of the atmosphere and by monitoring any storm systems that might come through the area. In the short term tornadoes are predicted by scanning thunderstorms with doppler radar and looking for signs of strong rotation.Scientists study tornadoes primarily with doppler radar as well, which can pick up information on the winds inside the funnel it you can get close enough. A few have deployed probes inside of tornadoes to take measurements.
Does a tornado form on the ground first?
No. General scientific consensus is that most tornadoes start forming up inside a thunderstorm and extend downward. There is evidence that some tornadoes form from the ground up, however.
Are tornadoes hot are cold?
It would probably cool inside a tornado but not quite cold. Tornadoes form best in warm weather, but due to the rapid pressure drop, a tornado is cooler than its surroundings.
Are tornadoes calm?
No. Tornadoes are violent.
What inside a twister?
Inside a tornado there are violently rotating winds that carry dust, debris, and cloud droplets. At the center of some tornadoes is a calm, clear area similar to the eye of a hurricane.
Does a tornado have a calm spot?
Yes. Many tornadoes have a calm center similar to the eye of a hurricane.
Do tornadoes have an calm part in the middle?
Tornadoes do not have a calm part in the middle. They are characterized by a violent and rotating column of air that forms during severe thunderstorms. The most destructive winds are typically found near the center of a tornado.
Do tornadoes twist inside?
Yes.
Is there a spot in a tornado where everything is still?
Some tornadoes have a relatively calm area similar to the eye of a hurricane at their centers, though it is unclear if this area is completely calm.
Do tornadoes have eyes?
Many tornadoes have a structure similar to the eye of a hurricane, but the only true eyes are in tropical cyclones. In Tornadoes and other storms it is called a weak echo region.
Why is it clear and calm in a tornado?
It is believed that some tornadoes have a calm, clear center similar to the eye of a hurricane. This is caused by the winds spinning so fast that they cannot reach the center. Aside from that it is neither calm nor clear in a tornado.
How is calm used in a sentence?
Watching a calm sea I feel a magic peace inside my heart.
Do tornadoes spread smoke?
No. Tornadoes do not spread smoke as they are not related to fire. In fact, the inside of a tornado is cooler than its surroundings.
How close has someone been to a tornado?
People have been inside of tornadoes.
Do tornadoes only have one funnel?
Usually they do, but there are multivortex tornadoes. These have small vortices, almost like smaller tornadoes, circling inside the main circulation. Most of the time these vorticies are hidden inside the main funnel, but sometimes, if the humidity is right these smaller vorticies are visible as multiple funnels
