No, EF is for Enhanced Fujita scale and F is for Fujita scale. The new scale, implemented in 2007 is more accurate, but ratings are essentially equivalent. Most tornadoes would receive the same rating on either scale.

What classification would a tornado with the fastest known wind speeds be given?
A tornado with the fastest winds would be rated EF5.
Why can tornadoes pick up whole buildings?
It is actually quite rare for a tornado to pick up an entire building. Such things usually only happen in EF4 and EF5 tornadoes. Such tornadoes have extremely powerful winds that spiral upward. The upward motion can exert more force on a building than gravity does, and thus lift it into their.
How fast does an EF6 tornado spin at?
There is no such thing as an EF6 tornado. Estimated winds for an EF5 tornado start at just over 200 mph and have no upper bound.
What are the properties of a tornado?
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Most tornadoes form from a mesocyclone, which is the rotating updraft of a supercell thunderstorm. Inside the tornado are very powerful winds, capable of causing damage to vegetation and man-made structures. This damage may range from broken tree limbs and missing shingles (EF0) to the complete obliteration of well-built structures (EF5). Those few tornadoes rated EF5 produce the fastest winds on earth.
How the force of power of a tornado measured?
The intensity of a tornado is determined by damage, wchi is used to estimate wind speed and assign it a rating from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest)
Which is the most powerful tornado of the world?
EF5
What is the most powerful type of tornado called?
The most powerful category of tornado is F5 on the Fujita scale or EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
What is the top speed of a EF5 tornado?
There is no set upper limit for an EF5 tornado. Any tornado with estimated winds in excess of 200 mph is considered an EF5.
What is the wind speed of EF5 tornado?
An EF5 tornado has winds in excess of 200 mph.
Has Florida ever had an F5 or EF5 tornado?

Have you ever seen a EF5 tornado?
No, fortunately I have not seen an EF5 tornado, that is in real life So, Yeah
Which type of tornado is the most rare?
The rarest rating for a tornado is EF5. Less than one tornado in every thousand receives such a rating.
Is EF5 the second dangerous tornado?
No. EF5 is the strongest tornado on the Enhanced Fujita and therefore the most dangerous type.
What is the largest tornado?
The strongest category of tornado is EF5 (F5 in countries that still use the original Fujita scale). However, although these tornadoes are the strongest they are not always the largest. In fact, for nine years the largest tornado on record, which hit Hallam, Nebraska on May 22, 2004 was an F4. Though weaker than an F5 this is still and extremely powerful tornado. This was later surpassed by the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013, which was rated EF5.
What was the date of the May 2011 EF5 tornado in Oklahoma?

What is the rate of the tornado in Greensberg?
The Greensburg tornado was an EF5, the strongest category of tornado.
Is a tornado given a number?
No, but it is given a rating based on the EF scale which ranges from EF0-EF5. EF0- Weakest tornado. EF5- Most violent tornado.
