No. The Fujita (F) scale uses damage to rate tornadoes and F5 damage is total destruction, leaving no room for a higher category. So the F6 tornado is a purely theoretical idea.

How powerful is a F6 tornado?

A F6 tornado does not exist on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which ranges from F0 to F5. The most powerful tornado category, an F5 tornado, has wind speeds exceeding 200 mph and can cause catastrophic damage.


How fast is an F6 tornado?

Theoretical winds for an F6 tornado are 319-379 mph. However, because tornado ratings are based on damage, the highest a tornado could ever be rated is F5. So the F6 rating is purely theoretical with no applications in the real world. On the enhanced scale there is no EF6 level theoretical or otherwise.


What happens in a f6 tornado?

There is no such thing as an F6 tornado. The highest rating a tornado can be assigned is F5. Even if a tornado were to occur with winds in the supposed F6 range, damage would be no different from that of an F5 as all virtually structures would be obliterated anyway.
