A F4 tornado has a maximum speed of 260mph (418 kph). However it should be noted that the wind estimates of the original Fujita scale, which were meant to correlate with damage levels, have been found to be inaccurate. on the new Enhance Fujita scale the top estimated wind speed for an EF4 tornado is 200 mph.

What is the maximum wind speed for an f4 tornado?

On the original Fujita scale the upper limit of F4 wind speed estimates was 260 mph (418 km/h). Later analysis suggested that this was too high an estimated for the upper limit of F4 damage and was revised to 200 mph (322 km/h) for an EF4 tornado.

What is wind speed and what does it have to be with hurricane?

Wind speed is the speed at which air moves from one place to another. Wind speed is a critical factor in determining the intensity of a hurricane, as higher wind speeds are associated with more powerful and destructive storms. Hurricane categories are based on the maximum sustained wind speed of the storm.


What was the wind speed of the Wichita falls tornado in 1979?

No wind measurements were taken from the Wichita Falls tornado, so the actual wind speed is not known. The tornado was rated F4 based on the severity of the damage it caused, which suggests peak wind speeds in the range of 207-260 mph. However, recent evidence suggests that the original Fujita scale used to rate this tornado may overestimate the wind speeds needed to inflict F3 and higher damage, so winds may not have been quite so fast.
