Best Answer

They are generally the strongest but not necessarily the worst. The two deadliest tornadoes on record ocurred in Bangladesh. The tornadoes in Bangladesh are not necessarily stronger than thoese in the United States, but the lack of a warning system, high population density, poor construction methods, and a high rate of poverty in Bangladesh excacerbate the effects of natural disasters such as tornadoes.

Are F5 tornadoes the worst?

Generally yes. F5 is the strongest category of tornado capable of completely obliterating well built structures. However how bad a tornado is depends on factors other than strength, such as where the tornado hits. For example, a number of F5 tornadoes have traveled over open country, with the worst damage limited to farms that were destroyed. A list of the worst tornadoes in U.S. history will consist mostly of F5 or EF5 tornadoes (including the #1 worst), but several F4 tornadoes would be on that list as well.
