Best Answer

There is not given size or path length of an F5.

Some are only a few hundred yards wide, others are over a mile. Some travel just a few miles, others have traveled over a hundred.

What defines an F5 tornado is how severe the damage is. If well built, strongly anchored houses are torn clean off their foundations the tornado is rated F5.
