How big is an F5 tornado?
Tornadoes are not rated by size; they are rated by the intensity of damage they cause. F5 damage is characterized as well-built, strongly anchored houses swept away, leaving behind a bare foundation. While most F5 tornadoes are very large some have been as narrow as 100 yards. Others have been over 2 miles wide.
Are most tornadoes weak strong or violent?
Most Tornadoes are weak. There is about a 69% chance that a Tornado will be an F0 or an F1, a 29% chance that a Tornado will be an F2 or an F3, and a 2% chance that a Tornado will be an F4 or an F5.
In the movie twister how many tornado's did the movie have including the beginning part of the movie's first F5 tornado?
There are 7 tornadoes in the movie. In order they are: 1. The F5 of the opening scene. 2. The tornado of the first chase, which destroys Jo's truck. 3/4. The F2/F3 that splits into two tornadoes and briefly envelopes Bill's truck. 5. The F3 that is show throwing debris and destroys the second Dorothy probe. 6. The F4 that destroys the drive-in theater and the town of Wakita. 7. The F5 of the end climax.

What happens if 2 tornadoes collide?
If 2 tornadoes collide they will merge into one tornado.
If 2 F5 tornadoes are near enough 2 each other Can they collide and fuse?
Tornadoes of any intensity can merge, however, it would be extremely unusual for two F5 tornadoes to be in such close proximity. The closest this came to happening in Kansas in 1990. As the Hesston, Kansas tornado was beginning to dissipate the tornado that would later hit Gossel, Kansas was forming. The two tornadoes neared each other and eventually the smaller Hesston tornado, which was in its "rope-out" stage was absorbed into the other, intensifying tornado. Although both tornadoes were ultimately rated F5, neither was at F5 intensity when the two twisters merged.
What happens when 2 tornadoes collide?
They merge into 1 tornado
Why is Florida not considered the tornado capital?
Although Florida has a very high concentration of tornadoes, they generally are not as strong or as destructive as the ones that occur in Tornado Alley. For example, since official records began in 1950 Florida has had 2 F4 tornadoes and no F5 tornadoes. By comparison Oklahoma has had 57 F4 tornadoes and 6 F5 tornadoes.
How wide is an f5 tornado?
There is no given size for an F5 tornado as tornado ratings are based on damage severity, not size. A tornado is rated F5 if well-built houses are blown clean off their foundations. F5 tornadoes have come in various sizes, ranging from as small as 100 yards to over 2 miles wide. That being said, F5 tornadoes are usually very large, averaging about half a mile wide.
Can Tornadoes including the EF5 Tornadoes go over the water?
Yes. Tornadoes, regardless of strength, can go over water without being significantly affected. There have been at least 2 cases of F5 tornadoes crossing the Mississippi river.

Can 2 F5 tornadoes at the same time same place possibly make a big huge large tornado?
It is unlikely that two tornadoes could maintain such high intensity so close to each other.
How much might a tornado increase in intensity and size if 2 F5 tornadoes collided and became a giant more powerful one?
This hasn't really been documented, but it would be unlikely, if not impossible, for two tornadoes to be near each other while at F5 intensity. There was one incident near Hesston, Kansas where two tornadoes merged as one tornado absorbed a smaller one that was in the process of dissipating. Soon afterward the larger tornado strengthened rapidly, eventually reaching F5 strength. The first tornado was also an F5 but had weakened before the second one formed.
How bad are F5 tornadoes?
They are devastating. An F5 tornado will completely destroy even the strongest of homes and, when they do occur, often level large sections of towns. They almost always result in multiple fatalities, averaging over 2 dozen deaths per storm.
Are most tornadoes weak strong or violent?
Most Tornadoes are weak. There is about a 69% chance that a Tornado will be an F0 or an F1, a 29% chance that a Tornado will be an F2 or an F3, and a 2% chance that a Tornado will be an F4 or an F5.
