No, the maximum rating is EF5. The primary factor in rating a tornado is damage, and since EF5 damage is total destruction there is no room for a higher category. Also, there is no upper bound for EF5 winds; any tornado with estimated winds over 200 mph is an EF5.

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 can an EF6 tornado do to a building?

There is no such thing as an EF6 tornado. The scale only goes as high as EF5, which is open ended with no upper bound. Most buildings struck by the full force of an EF5 tornado will be completely destroyed. Smaller buildings such as houses and restaurants will be completely swept away. High rise and mid rise buildings will be structurally deformed and may collapse.


How fast is an F6 tornado?

Theoretical winds for an F6 tornado are 319-379 mph. However, because tornado ratings are based on damage, the highest a tornado could ever be rated is F5. So the F6 rating is purely theoretical with no applications in the real world. On the enhanced scale there is no EF6 level theoretical or otherwise.

Has there ever been a nearly documented EF 6 tornado?

No. There has been a tornado with wind speeds of 302 mph +/20 mph. That was recorded by Doppler on wheels. So winds may have been over 318 mph which was the upper limit of F5 winds on the original Fujita scale. However the Fujita Scale scale is based on damage, not wind speed (the wind speeds for each category are only estimates) and F5 damage is complete destruction, that tornado was rate F5. On the Enhanced Fujita Scale the is no EF6 category at all. EF5 wind estimates have no upper bound.
