No. There are several reasons for this.
- The Fujita (F) scale is used to rate tornadoes, not hurricanes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale
- Neither scale has a rating of 6; The Fujita scale maxes out at F5 and the Saffir-Simpson scale maxes out at category 5.
- Ratings are not based on size. Fujita ratings are based on damage severity and Hurricane ratings are based on wind speed.

What was the second largest hurricane?

Who would win f6 tornado or a 5 min hurricane?
There is no such thing as an F6 tornado or a 5 minute hurricane. The Fujita scale only goes up to F5 and a hurricane lasts for days, not minutes. Hurricanes can produce tornadoes. When this occurs, the two do not interfere with each other. So there would be no winner as there is no conflict to begin with.
How many mile wide the hurricane can be up?
Hurricanes can vary in size, but they can reach up to hundreds of miles wide. The diameter of the hurricane's wind field, which is where the strongest winds are located, can be around 100-200 miles wide.
