A tornado is a violent, spinning column of air. Tornado wind speeds are usually between 40 miles an hour and 110 miles an hour. They usually move over the ground for a few miles and then dissolve. Some really bad tornadoes can have wind speeds of up to 300 miles per hour!
At least 57 people were treated at hospitals in Oklahoma. Two were in critical condition.
