The fastest wind speed recorded in a tornado was 302 mph in the Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999. However, wind measurements in tornadoes are rare and it is likely that other tornadoes had faster winds but did not have them measured.
The fastest speed a tornado is known to have traveled is 73 mph. That was the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. This tornado also holds the record for duration (3 hours, 29 minutes), path length (219 miles), and U.S. death toll (695).
A tornado that hit Moore City, Oklahoma in 1999 which had winds clocked at 302 MPH had the fastest measured winds, but others may have been stronger as actual wind measurements are rare.
The fastest a tornado is known to have traveled is 73 mph in the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925.
It is not known for certain. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was a gust to 302 mph. This occurred in the F5 tornado that hit the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999. However, the vast majority of tornadoes never have their winds measured, so it is probably that other tornadoes had stronger winds.

Two words for a rapidly spinning air mass that is dangerous and start with a T are "tornado" and "twister."
The fastest storm on record is the Tri-State Tornado, which occurred in the central US in 1925. With estimated wind speeds reaching up to 300 mph, it holds the title for the fastest tornado ever recorded.
That would be a tornado.
It depends on the tornado. If it is a single vortex tornado the winds near at the edge of the core will be the fastest. However, many of the strongest tornadoes are multivortex, meaning that they have smaller vorticies (almost like mini tornadoes) inside the main vortex. In a multivortex tornado the fastest winds are within these subvortices.

The largest tornado on record was the Hallam, Nebraska tornado of May 22, 2004 at 2.5 miles wide. The tornado with the fastest measured winds was the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999 with winds of 302 mph. However since most tornadoes do not have their winds measured it is very likely that some other tornadoes had faster winds. The tornado with the fastest forward speed was the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. At times it traveled at 73 mph.
Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our solar system, with a rotation period of about 10 hours.
Yes. A tornado can easily kill people. Whether the person is spinning or not has no effect on the outcome.
A tornado IS wind- very fast winds spinning in a circle.
No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.
The air inside a tornadic thunderstorm (a storm that produces a tornado) does spin. But it is that spinning air that causes the tornado, rather than the tornado starting the air spinning.
In a single-vortex tornado the fastest winds are found at the outer edge of the core, generally on the tornado's right side in the northern hemisphere and the left side in the southern. In a multiple-vortex tornado the fastest winds are found in the subvortices within the main circulation.

Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our solar system, completing a full rotation on its axis in just under 10 hours.
The worlds fastest car in 2009 was the 2009 SSC Ultimate Aero (270 mph).
It is a tornado.
