Yes and no. While it might be possible for winds in excess of 318 mph to occur, Fujita scale ratings are based on damage rather than winds speeds. So even if winds in the theoretical F6 range were to occur the tornado would still be rated F5 as F5 winds will obliterate all man-made structures leaving no room or purpose for a higher category to be used.

So the F6 rating is purely theoretical.

On the new Enhanced Fujita scale the EF5 wind range has been left open-ended so there is no EF6 theoretical or otherwise.

Is it possible for an F6 tornado to form?

Yes, it is possible for an F6 tornado to form, although it is extremely rare and not officially recognized by the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which currently only goes up to F5. The conditions required for an F6 tornado to occur would be incredibly intense and destructive.


What happens in a f6 tornado?

There is no such thing as an F6 tornado. The highest rating a tornado can be assigned is F5. Even if a tornado were to occur with winds in the supposed F6 range, damage would be no different from that of an F5 as all virtually structures would be obliterated anyway.


Was the tri-state tornado an F6?

No. The Tri-State tornado was an F5. There is no such thing as an F6 tornado.


Why is an F6 tornado the most frenquent tornado?

There has never been an F6 tornado. F0 is the most common type.


How do you get an F6 in Tornado Jockey?

well im sorry but there is no such thing as a F6 F5 is the highest tornado rating


How powerful is a F6 tornado?

A F6 tornado does not exist on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which ranges from F0 to F5. The most powerful tornado category, an F5 tornado, has wind speeds exceeding 200 mph and can cause catastrophic damage.


Is there such thing as an f6 tornado?

No. The highest rating a tornado can attain is F5.


Has there ever been an F6 Tornado?

No. The highest category possible is F5.


How fast is an F6 tornado?

Theoretical winds for an F6 tornado are 319-379 mph. However, because tornado ratings are based on damage, the highest a tornado could ever be rated is F5. So the F6 rating is purely theoretical with no applications in the real world. On the enhanced scale there is no EF6 level theoretical or otherwise.


Is it possible that Philippines will have a tornado?

Yes. Tornadoes occur in the Philippines.


Do f6 tornadoes exist?

No. The highest rating a tornado can acheive is F5.


Is there such a thing as an F6 tornado?

No. The very first Fujita scale included an F6 but the categorization was never used - F5 is the highest a tornado can be.
