The Beaufort scale is an empirical
Empirical
The word empirical denotes information gained by means of observation, experience, or experiment, as opposed to theory. A central concept in science and the scientific method is that all evidence must be empirical, or empirically based, that is, dependent on evidence or Logical consequence that are observable by the senses....

The very weak tornadoes, low to mid EF0, have winds that would be an 11 on the Beaufort scale. Mid EF0 (EF0 wind estimates: 65-85mph) tornadoes and higher would be a 12.
The tornadoes responsible for major damage (EF3 or higher on the Enhanced Fujita scale) have winds in excess of 135 mph, in rare cases as high as 300mph.

0 = Calm
1 = Light air
2 = Light breeze
3 = Gentle breeze
4 = Moderate breeze
5 = Fresh breeze
6 = Strong breeze
7 = High wind
8 = Gale
9 = Strong gale
10 = Storm
11 = Violent storm
12 = Hurricane

∙ 12y agothe tornado winds on a wind scale are the highest an F5 would rip the scale in to a billion tiny bits
NOBODY HAS EVER SURVIVED AN F5 WIND STORM. THEY ALL DDDIIIEEEDDD
