How fast is an ef5?
Wind speeds in an EF5 tornado are estimated to be in excess of 200 mph. They can reach much higher, potentially exceeding 300 mph.
Can a wind speed be 100 miles per hour?
Yes. Hurricanes, tornadoes, and sometimes severe thunderstorms can produce 100 mph winds, which can cause severe damage. Sometimes winds may be much faster. Tornadic winds have been clocked at over 300 mph.
What is the wind speed of EF5 tornado?
An EF5 tornado has winds in excess of 200 mph.
How much damage does a 56 mph hurricane do?
A storm with 56 mph winds would not be a hurricane; it would be a moderate tropical storm. Winds must be at least 74 mph for a storm to be a hurricane. A tropical storm with such winds may break some tree limbs and down a few trees. Some very weak structures may be damaged. The rain from such a storm could cause significant flooding. How much would be difficult to predict as flooding risk does not depend on wind speed.
What is a F2 tornado wind speed?
Wind speed estimates of an F2 tornado range from 113 to 157 mph. This was later adjusted to 111-135 mph for an EF2
How much more damaging is 500 mph wind than a 30 mph wind?
With 300 mph winds destruction would be complete. Well built houses would be completely blown away, and the few trees left standing would be left without bark or branches. At 30 mph nothing significant would happen. At worst a few tree limbs may break.
How fast is a normal tornadoes wind speed?
Most tornadoes are weak, win wind in the range of 80 to 90 mph. However, the ones that cause the most serious damage typically have winds of at least 130 mph.
How fast is an ef5?
Wind speeds in an EF5 tornado are estimated to be in excess of 200 mph. They can reach much higher, potentially exceeding 300 mph.
What is the difference between categories 1 and categories 2 in a hurricane?
Category 1 hurricanes have wind speeds of 74-95 mph and cause minimal damage, while Category 2 hurricanes have wind speeds of 96-110 mph and can result in moderate damage such as uprooted trees and damage to roofs.
What are the characteristitics of each different categores of each hurricanes?
Hurricanes are categorized based on their wind speed using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale: Category 1: Wind speeds of 74-95 mph, minimal damage. Category 2: Wind speeds of 96-110 mph, moderate damage. Category 3: Wind speeds of 111-129 mph, extensive damage. Category 4: Wind speeds of 130-156 mph, extreme damage. Category 5: Wind speeds of 157 mph or higher, catastrophic damage.
Can a wind speed be 100 miles per hour?
Yes. Hurricanes, tornadoes, and sometimes severe thunderstorms can produce 100 mph winds, which can cause severe damage. Sometimes winds may be much faster. Tornadic winds have been clocked at over 300 mph.
What is the wind speed for an EF0 tornado?
The wind speed for an EF0 tornado ranges from 65 to 85 mph. These tornadoes are the weakest on the Enhanced Fujita Scale and typically cause minor damage.
What is the minimum speed a tornado has to reach to be considered F5?
The scale does not rate tornadoes on wind speed but on damage. The wind speeds for the categories (F0, F1 etc) are estimates for each damage level. The wind estimates for F5 damage start at 261 mph. However, this estimates is believed to be too high. On the new scale, the wind estimates for EF5 start at 201 mph.
What is the wind speed of EF5 tornado?
An EF5 tornado has winds in excess of 200 mph.

How much does the Statue of liberty sway in the wind?
Winds of 50 MPH will cause it to sway up to 3 inches.
What is a F2 tornado wind speed?
Wind speed estimates of an F2 tornado range from 113 to 157 mph. This was later adjusted to 111-135 mph for an EF2
