Many people believed that an F6 tornado should be added on the Fujita scale but 318 or over mph winds was never recorded and winds were believed too high for tornadoes to reach unlike the may 3rd outbreak that of the Oklahoma City tornado experienced 302 mph winds in 1999. Even then, tornado ratings are based on damage rather than wind speed.

What is the maximum wind speed for an F5 tornado?
As the original Fujita scale estimated, the maximum wind speed for an F5 tornado was 318 mph. However, it would be impossible for a tornado to be rated higher than F5 as actual ratings are based on damage and F5 damage leaves no room of a higher category. On the newer Enhanced Fujita scale the highest category, EF5, has no upper bound for wind speeds.
What winds are of f6?
The estimated wind speed for an F6 tornado is 318-379 mph. However this category is only theoretical. The scale as it is used only goes up to F5 as actual ratings are based on damage rather than wind speed. F5 damage is complete destruction.
What precis the wind speed of an f5 on the fujita scale?
There is no precise wind rating as the scale measure tornadoes based on damage severity, but the range of wind estimates for an F5 is 261-318 mph.
How many 1970 darts came with 318 and 4 speed?
not many if any as the 318 was backed with a 3 speed on the floor is it was manual shifted.
What was the wind speed of the xenia Ohio tornado?
The Xenia, Ohio tornado of 1974 never actually had its wind speed measured as we did not have the necessary technology at the time. However, based on damage the tornado was rated F5, the highest category on the Fujita scale, which would put estimated winds in the range of 261-318 mph. Even considering the fact that this scale overestimated wind speed, that would still put the Xenia tornado's wind speed at well over 200 mph.
How strong do tornadoes get?
They can have wind speeds up to about 318 mph.
How fast can a human exhale?
It depends on how different the pressures of high and low are. If they are very different, the wind is stronger than if the difference was smaller.
What is the mode of 318 315 318 319 314 318?
318 is the mode, as it occurs more than any other number in the list.
How many 1974 Plymouth Cudas were built with a 318 3 speed stick?
11 734 barracudas were built that year .....More than 60-80 % of them were 318 cuda s and barracuda s the rest of it were 360 cars .
What is the fastest surface wind ever recorded?
The world record for fastest surface wind speed ever recorded is 253 mph. It was "accurately measured with an anemometer" on Australia's Barrow Island during cyclone Olivia, and being accurately measured makes the "official world record". The unofficial record is 318 mph. This was measured using Doppler radar during an F5 tornado in Oklahoma. It's unofficial because Doppler radar is a less accurate way to measure wind speed than with an anemometer.
Which is stronger an F5 tornado or a category 5 hurricane?
In terms of wind speed an EF5 tornado (estimated winds over 200mph, formerly 261-318) is stronger than a category 5 hurricane (over 155 mph). But overall a category 5 hurricane releases more energy.
What is the highest wind speed of an F5 tornado?
The upper limit for F5 winds were originally set at 318 mph. This is somewhat of a tricky thing, though, as tornado ratings are based on the severity of the damage, which is used to estimate wind speed. The problem is, damage caused by F5 winds is so complete, it is impossible to determine if winds were faster. When the Enhanced Fujita scale replaced the Fujita scale in 2007, the new EF5 category had no set upper limit for wind speed.
