Nothing as there is no such thing as an F6 tornado. The highest a tornado can be rated is F5. F5 and EF5 tornadoes are generally, but not always larger than the average tornado. If you can get a good look at one you will note that the rotation is extremely violent and there may be a large debris cloud.

F6 is a theoretical rating on the Fujita scale. For just about all intents and purposes the Fujita scale, which rates tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they do, runs from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest.

However, when the scale was created categories were created all the way up to F12, primarily for mathematical calculations of wind speed. An F6 tornado would have winds in the range of 319 to 379 mph. However actual ratings are based on damage, and since F5 winds leave complete destruction, there is no room or use for a higher category.

There is no given look to an F5 tornado, and a tornado's appearance is not a goof indicator of its strength. F5 tornadoes have taken on the appearance of massive columns and cones, or of wedges wider than they are tall. However a few have been fairly narrow, looking like classic tornadoes. Such tornadoes will rotate violently, though that cannot always be clearly seen. Below are links to videos of a few F5 and EF5 tornadoes.

What happens in a f6 tornado?

There is no such thing as an F6 tornado. The highest rating a tornado can be assigned is F5. Even if a tornado were to occur with winds in the supposed F6 range, damage would be no different from that of an F5 as all virtually structures would be obliterated anyway.


Is there such thing as an f6 tornado?

No. The highest rating a tornado can attain is F5.


Is it possible for an F6 tornado to form?

No. An F5 is the strongest tornado that is able to form.


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.


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.


Do f6 tornadoes exist?

No. The highest rating a tornado can acheive is F5.


Has there ever been an F6 Tornado?

No. The highest category possible is F5.


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.
