There is no such thing as an F8 tornado. The scale as it works only goes up to F5 since it is based on damage rather than wind speed. However, theoretical winds in an F8 tornado would be 446-514 mph. Such winds are not thought to be possible in a tornado.

It depends on how strong the tornado is. If its a weak tornado then most likely it can not, but if it's a very strong tornado it is very possible that it can.

Can you give a description of an F8 or Category 8 tornado?

There is no such thing as an F8 tornado or Category 8 hurricane in reality. However, the Fujita scale does have theoretical categories up to F12, so that the scale connects the Beaufort wind scale and mach number. We cannot get a size out of this supposed category as although strong tornadoes tend to be larger, size is not a factor in rating. F8 wind estimates on this theoretical portion of the scale range from 446 mph to 513 mph. However, the Fujita scale is based on damage, the wind speeds are only estimates for each damage level. Since F5 damage is total destruction, no tornado can be rated higher than F5. As to hurricanes, any wind higher than 156 mph is category 5, no matter how high. So we cannot have a category 8.


What is the strong wind giving to the tornado?

How do you tell if a tornado is strong?

If you can see the tornado, strong tornadoes tend to be relatively wide, though not always. Additionally you can see the rotation in a tornado. If it is rotating very rapidly then it is probably strong. However, rotation that appears slower does not necessarily mean a weak tornado. Winds nearer the center or in subvortices hidden within the funnel may still be in the range of a strong to violent tornado.
