F-12? Considering the scale only goes up to 5, I'm pretty sure the answer to that is no.

What would happen if an f12 tornado hit?

There is no such thing as an F12 tornado. Fujita, the person who created the rating scale, put wind speed estimates for ratings up to F12 for purely mathematical reasons. He did not believe that such a tornado was possible. If such a tornado were to occur, the supersonic winds would cause utter devastation that would resemble the effects of the shockwave of an atomic bomb.


Is an F12 a tornado?

Was There ever a EF6 Tornado Rank?

Sort of. On the original Fujita scale theoretical categories F6 to F12 were plotted, but they are never used, as ratings are based on damaged, and an F5 tornado leaves nothing left to destroy. Since it was never used, the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale did away with it completely, giving any tornado with estimated winds over 200 mph a rating of EF5.
