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.

∙ 9y agoIn the worst cases of an F4 tornado, houses may be completely swept away. In this case, however, deciding the rating may be difficult. Houses swept away is the typical type of damage left by an F5 tornado, but may only warrant an F4 rating if the houses were not well-constructed.

∙ 8y agoOn the original Fujita scale the maximum wind speed for an F4 tornado is set at 260 mph. Later, this estimate was considered to be too high to mark the threshold of F4/F5 damage and was revised to 200 mph for the upper limit of an EF4 tornado, though the two produce the same damage.
