How long is anF5 tornado?
There is not given size for an F5 tornado as ratings are based on damage rather than size. Typical F5 damage is well constructed houses blown clean off their foundations.
How fast was the natchez tornado?
We do not know. The Natchez tornado was in 1840, and it is hard to get reliable information from records that old. The tornado itself was probably an F4 or F5, which would put wind speeds in the range of 200 mph or more, but that does not indicate anything about how fast the tornado itself moved.
How much damage can a f5 tornado do than a f1 tornado do?
Much more. Typical F1 damage includes badly damage roofs, trailers overturned or partially destroyed, broken windows and collapsed porches. F1 tornadoes often cause damage in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, occasionally in the millions. Typical F5 damage includes well constructed houses wiped clean off their foundations and reinforced concrete structures heavily damaged. They can even peel asphalt from roads. F5 tornadoes often cause damage in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. A few have even caused over $1 billion in damage.
How big is an F2 tornado?
An F2 tornado does not have any particular size. That is not how the scale works; it rates tornadoes based on damage. An F2 tornado (EF2 as of February 2007) is a tornado that tears roofs from well-built homes, derails trains, and destroys trailers. Winds in an EF2 are estimated at 111 to 135 mph.
What is the difference between a f4 and f5 tornado?
An EF5 tornado has an estimated wind speed of over 200 mph (miles per hour,) while an EF4 has wind speeds from 166 up to 200 mph. The scale approximates the intensity of a tornado. "F" stands for the Fujita Scale, with "EF" standing for the Enhanced Fujita Scale. Both rate tornadoes based on engineered wind estimates and damage descriptions. Both F4 and F5 tornadoes are ranked as "intense" and "violent," but the difference between the ratings can only be determined by Doppler Radar data and other technical meteorological measures. See the Wikipedia article linked below for further information and sources. In more detail, an EF4 tornado will level a well built house and blow away ones of with less integrity. An EF5 will wipe well built houses clean off their foundations.
