F2 and F5 are ratings for tornadoes, not hurricanes. They are ratings on the Fujita scale, which runs from F0 to F5. An F2 is a fairly strong tornado capable of tearing the roof from a well-built house and completely destroying a mobile home.

F5 is the highest rating a tornado can receive, indicating an extremely violent and destructive storm. Even the sturdiest houses will be completely obliterated. In some cases F5 tornadoes have destroyed entire towns.

Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale, which runs from Category 1 to category 5. A category 2 hurricane has sustained winds of 96-110 mph. A category 5 hurricane has winds of at least 157 mph.

What is an F2 tornado?

F2 is a rating on the Fujita scale, which assess tornado intensity based on damage. The scale runs from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest. F2 indicates a strong tornado (most tornadoes are F0 or F1) that can tear the roof from a well-built house and lift cars off the ground.

What is a force 2 tornado?

An F2 tornado (the F standing for Fujita) is a relatively strong tornado with estimated winds of 113-157 mph (182-253 km/h). It is the third category on the Fujita scale, which rates tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on the severity of the damage they cause. A typical F2 tornado will tear the roofs from most houses, completely demolish mobile homes, and lift small cars off the ground. An F2 on the Fujita scale is equivalent to a T4 or T5 on the TORRO scale. In the United States the F2 category has been replaced by EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale with estimated winds of 111-135 mph (179-217 km/h). Scientists believe this wind estimated to be more accurate.


Are the majority of tornadoes in the us classified as F5?

No. F5 is the least common rating. Less than 0.1% of all tornadoes in the U.S. are rated F5. F0 (now EF0) is the most common rating.

Has there ever been a category 5 hurricane?

No, because F5 is a rating for tornadoes, not hurricanes. To date there has never been a recorded F5 tornado in Florida. However, Florida was hit by two category 5 hurricanes: The Labor Day hurricane of 1935 and Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
