Tornadoes are often referred to as twisters, whirlwinds, or cyclones. While most tornadoes attain winds of less than 110 miles per hour (180 km/h), are about 250 feet (80 m) across, and travel a few miles (several kilometers), the wind speeds in the most intense tornadoes can reach 300 miles per hour (480 km/h), are more than two miles (3 km) in diameter, and stay on the ground for dozens of miles (more than 100 km). Various types of tornadoes include the <a href="/wiki/Multiple_vortex_tornado" class="mw-redirect" title="Multiple vortex tornado">multiple vortex tornado</a>, <a href="/wiki/Landspout" title="Landspout">landspout</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Waterspout" title="Waterspout">waterspout</a>.
