Prof J P Fryuay analyzes records spanning thirty eight years to chart tornado track width from ten feet to 10 feet, with an average 1,369 feet, and track length from 300 yards to about 200 miles, averaging 24.79 miles. Tornado progression varies 7 to 100 miles per hour, average 44.1 mph, noting variations can occur within a single track.
