Winds on Neptune have been known to reach up to 1,500 mph or 2,414 km per hour. Neptune's most famous storm named the Great Dark Spot was first observed in 1982 by the Voyager 2 spacecraft. It was approximately the size of Earth and reached 1,500 mph.
Five years later, the Hubble Space telescope found that it had disappeared yet another smaller storm had appeared in the northern hemisphere. This storm was the size of Earth's moon and was named the Small Dark Spot.

Winds on Neptune are up to 4.71 times stronger than Earths most damaging tornados.
A tornado on Earth is measured by the Fujita scale. Tornadoes are measured on a scale of F0-5, F5 being classed as an Incredible Tornado.
F5 tornados reach between 261 and 318 Mph. The damage can be catastrophic as strong frame houses lifted off foundations and carried considerable distances to disintegrate; automobile sized missiles fly through the air in excess of 100 meters; trees debarked; steel re-enforced concrete structures badly damaged.
