The Fujita scale rates tornadoes based on damage. If a tornado stays in a field the whole time it's on the ground chances are it won't cause any damage.

The Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes based on their wind speed and the what?
The Fujita scale actually classifies tornadoes based on the amount of damage they do to buildings and plants. If a small tornado with extremely high winds and a small footprint takes out a farmhouse and a corn field, it's bad. But if a tornado that has winds not as high as that small one but has a footprint a quarter mile across sweeps through a town and shreds it, that's much worse. The former tornado will have a rating lower on the Fujita scale than the latter one will. Note that the damage assessment and the application of a Fujita scale rating will come after the tornado has passed.
If a tornado is able to obtain 302 miles per hour is it an F5 tornado?
Generally yes, by the wind estimates of the original Fujita scale winds over 260 mph are in the F5 range. However if such a tornado goes across open country and so does not cause F5 damage it would likely be given a lower rating.
