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.


Has there ever been a f6 tornado?

No. The Fujita (F) scale uses damage to rate tornadoes and F5 damage is total destruction, leaving no room for a higher category. So the F6 tornado is a purely theoretical idea.
