The scale runs from F0 (not very bad at all) F5 (incredible destruction) so an F1 would be considered a relatively weak tornado.
Which is bigger an F5 tornado or a F1 tornado?
In most cases an F5 tornado will be larger than an F1. However, tornado ratings are a measure of the strength of a tornado, not its size. F5 is the strongest category, and such tornadoes are usually very large, but a few have been fairly small. Conversely, F1 is the second lowest rating (F0 is the lowest) and such tornadoes are generally small, but some have been huge.
