Planet-Sized Tornado Whirls On Sun's Surface (video) [View all]
"A tremendous tornado whirling across the surface of the sun was captured by a NASA satellite recently an amazing wonder of the solar system that may be as big as the Earth itself."
This lasted for 30 hours on Feb. 7-8 and had winds gusts up to 300,000 mph. Our F5 tornadoes are 300 mph.
