There is no such thing as an F4 hurricane. F4 is a rating applied to tornadoes. Initially winds for an F4 tornado were estimated at 207 to 261 mph. However, this has since been found to bee too high and adjusted to 166 to 200 mph for an EF4 tornado.

A category 4 hurricane has sustained winds of 130 to 156 mph.
