What is maxuium speed of wind blown debris in a tornado?
To answer your question real fast, a cow at 120mph + a street sign moving at 180 mph + a refrigerator moving at 100mph + a car, moving at 70 mph + The speed of the debris would depend on how high off the ground the debris go, the size, shape and wind resistance of the object. If it is just rolling allong on the floor then you will know if it is moving 5 mph or 40 mph. But anything that gets blown into the sky is subject to gravity. Things can be blown around at 60 or more mph but when the object falls then the speed could increase to a maximum speed up to 130 mph. (unless your tornado is moving with wind speeds of 350mph, then EVERYTHING that sits above the earths surface will be torn off and relocated) Now to penetrate a concrete wall depends on the weight of the object hitting the wall. (we will use a basic concrete cinder block wall as an example) If the tornado is strong enough to lift a car into a concrete wall (+/- 150 mph), then the car wouldnt even have to be moving too fast to
