There isn't really a maximum speed (except of course for the speed of light!) a human can survive. What would kill a human is the force generated by very fast acceleration (G force). I'm not sure of the maximum number of G's a human can withstand, but in a pressurized cockpit of say a fighter plane, a highly trained pilot might be able to get somewhere between 15-20 G's (15-20 times Earth's normal gravity), although once you get that high, the plane is going to have some trouble staying together as well.

Can tornadoes travel faster then the speed of sound?

No. The fastest speed a tornado has peen known to travel is 73 mph, about 1/10 the speed of sound. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph, still less than half the speed of sound.


What is the fastest Mach speed a human can travel?

Answer"Mach speed" refers to the speed of sound in earth's atmosphere. Mach 1 is the the speed of sound, Mach 2 is twice that, and so forth. A human can travel at any Mach speed at all. Your question fails to specify whether or not surviving the experience is a requirement. AnswerA human can travel at any Mach speed he/she wants. In orbit, the Space Shuttle travels at speeds well over Mach 30. It is the G-force which causes people to pass out. G-force is caused due to acceleration, not speed. A force of 5G can make a fit person pass out.
