An F4 tornado can be devastating. An F4 tornado will level well-built houses and strip bark from trees. Such tornadoes have been known to wipe out large sections of cities and towns. While most of the worst tornadoes in U.S. history have been F5s, several F4 tornadoes are on that list as well.
The infamous 1979 Wichita Falls tornado was an F4.
It usually takes at least an F4 tornado to flatten houses.
There is no given size for any category of tornado. Some F4 tornadoes have been relatively small while some have been over 2 miles wide
The tornado of the elevens was categorized as an F4. It was called the tornado of the elevens because it occurred on November, 11, 1911. It was in Owosso, Michigan.
If you mean the rating, the Manchester, South Dakota tornado was an F4.
The Goliad, Texas tornado was an F4.
An F4 or higher tornado (the only higher rating being F5) is classified as violent.
The F4 tornado that hit Hamden, Connecticut in 1989 struck on July 10.
The estimated wind range for an F4 tornado is 207-260 mph. On the Enhanced Fujita scale this was change to 166-200 mph for an EF4 tornado.
The Hallam, Nebraska tornado was rated F4
The infamous 1979 Wichita Falls tornado was an F4.
It usually takes at least an F4 tornado to flatten houses.
Yes. F4 is the second strongest category on the Fujita scale, indicating an extremely powerful tornado that can completely level well-built homes.

There have been a number of tornadoes that have stuck St. Louis including a few F4 tornadoes. The most significant tornado to strike the city, which occurred on May 27, 1896 and killed 255 was an F4.
An F4 tornado can be a quarter of a mile wide, but that is by no means a requirement. Tornado ratings are based on the severity of the damage, not the size of the tornado. There is a tendency for violent tornadoes to be large, but they don't have to be. A path width of 1/4 mile would not be uncommon for an F4, but sizes have ranged from as small as 100 yards to as wide as 2.5 miles.
F4 and F5 are the two strongest categories of tornado on the Fujita scale. A damage based scale which rates tornadoes from F0 to F5. An F4 tornado will reduce most houses to piles of rubble. An F5 tornado will completely annihilate almost any house and wipe it clean off its foundation. Winds in an F5 can exceed 300 mph.
