actually there is an F6 on the fujita scale but there arent any recorded. It would be impossible to tell whether or not it is an F6. Look at this list.
The Fujita ScaleFrom this website

F-Scale Number Intensity Phrase Wind Speed Type of Damage Done F0 Gale tornado 40-72 mph Some damage to chimneys; breaks branches off trees; pushes over shallow-rooted trees; damages sign boards. F1 Moderate tornado 73-112 mph The lower limit is the beginning of hurricane wind speed; peels surface off roofs; mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned; moving autos pushed off the roads; attached garages may be destroyed. F2 Significant tornado 113-157 mph Considerable damage. Roofs torn off frame houses; mobile homes demolished; boxcars pushed over; large trees snapped or uprooted; light object missiles generated. F3 Severe tornado 158-206 mph Roof and some walls torn off well constructed houses; trains overturned; most trees in fores uprooted F4 Devastating tornado 207-260 mph Well-constructed houses leveled; structures with weak foundations blown off some distance; cars thrown and large missiles generated. F5 Incredible tornado 261-318 mph Strong frame houses lifted off foundations and carried considerable distances to disintegrate; automobile sized missiles fly through the air in excess of 100 meters; trees debarked; steel re-inforced concrete structures badly damaged. F6 Inconceivable tornado 319-379 mph These winds are very unlikely. The small area of damage they might produce would probably not be recognizable along with the mess produced by F4 and F5 wind that would surround the F6 winds. Missiles, such as cars and refrigerators would do serious secondary damage that could not be directly identified as F6 damage. If this level is ever achieved, evidence for it might only be found in some manner of ground swirl pattern, for it may never be identifiable through engineering studies

What year did Theodore fujita develop the fujita scale?
Theodore Fujita develop the fujita scale in 1971
Why is the tornado scale called the Fujita scale?
The Fujita scale is named after the scientist who invented it: Dr. Tetsuya Theodore Fujita.
When did they start using the Fujita scale to rate tornadoes?
Us of the Fujita scale was started in 1971. It was replaced in the U.S. by the Enhanced Fujita scale in 2007.
Who is the creator of the fujita scale?
Dr. Tetsuya Theodore Fujita created the Fuijta scale.
What is the scale that measures the severity of tornadoes?
The Enhanced Fujita scale (formerly the Fujita scale), ranging from EF0 to EF5.
What is a f6?
F6 is a theoretical category on the Fujita scale with estimated winds of 319-379 mph. However, only the categories F0 to F5 are actually used.A2. But f6 (small 'f'), could be a focal stop of a camera lens.
Has there ever been an F6 Tornado?
No. The highest category possible is F5.
Is there such a thing as an F6 tornado?
No. The very first Fujita scale included an F6 but the categorization was never used - F5 is the highest a tornado can be.
Has there ever been a f6 tornado?
No. The Fujita (F) scale uses damage to rate tornadoes and F5 damage is total destruction, leaving no room for a higher category. So the F6 tornado is a purely theoretical idea.
Is the largest hurricane size f6?
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 scaleNeither 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 year did Theodore fujita develop the fujita scale?
Theodore Fujita develop the fujita scale in 1971
Is there ever an F6 or so bigger tornado in tornado scalings?
No. The highest any tornado has been rated is F5. Theoretical ratings up to F12 were created during the development of the scale in 1970-1971, but they really only existed as a consequence of the mathematical formula used to create the scale. Tetsuya Fujita, the creator of the scale may have kept the F6 rating in reserve in the case of a tornado of unprecedented violence, but it was never implemented. Actual tornado ratings are based on damage, and F5 damage leaves virtually nothing intact, so finding and indicator of F6 intensity is likely impossible. In 2007 the Fujita scale was replaced by the Enhanced Fujita scale which keeps EF5 as the highest possible rating. No higher ratings, real or hypothetical, exist.
What scale do the us have for tornadoes?
the fujita scale coverted into Enhanced fujita scale
Why is the tornado scale called the Fujita scale?
The Fujita scale is named after the scientist who invented it: Dr. Tetsuya Theodore Fujita.
When was the fujita scale created?
The Fujita Scale was created in 1971 by Dr. Tetsuya "Ted" Fujita.
How big and how fast can the wind speed of a F6 tornado be?
The F6 category is purely theoretical. Because Fujita scale ratings are based on damage rather than directly on wind speed, there is no room for a level hihger than F5. Now that that point is made, the theoretical range of F6 winds is 319-379 mph.
What is the Fujita scale used for?
The Fujita scale is used to classify tornadoes.
