The scale does not rate tornadoes on wind speed but on damage. The wind speeds for the categories (F0, F1 etc) are estimates for each damage level. The wind estimates for F5 damage start at 261 mph. However, this estimates is believed to be too high. On the new scale, the wind estimates for EF5 start at 201 mph.
