"Manitoba tornado" could refer to any tornado that occurs in the Canadian province of Manitoba. There are two tornadoes that ocurred in Manitoba in recent years that were fairly well documented. The first and most famous of the two was the F5 tornado that hit the edge of Elie, Manitoba on June 22, 2007. The tornado was caught on video tearing a well-constructed brick house from its foundation and throwing it several hundred feet. There were no deaths or serious injuries. The next day a very large tornado destroyed several farm houses near the town of Pipestone, Manitoba. The tornado was officially an F3, but it may have been stronger. This tornado is best known for the close range footage taken of it by storm chaser Reed Timmer.

When an eye of a tornado comes back more severe than the general tornado what is that called?
When the eye of a tornado becomes more intense and destructive than the larger tornado, it is known as a "tornado within a tornado" or a "satellite tornado." This phenomenon occurs when a smaller, more powerful vortex forms within the main tornado circulation.
What is the smallest F5 or EF5 tornado?
It is difficult to determine especially since a single tornado will oftern vary in size. A likely candidate is the Sherman, Texas tornado of May 15, 1896. This tornado was farily large among much of its path, averaging just under 1/4 mile wide. The actual F5 damage was in the town of Sherman near the end of the path, where the tornado had narrowed to only 60 yards wide. About 50 homes were destroyed of which 20 were completely obliterated. Another candidate is the Elie, Manitoba tornado of June 22, 2007. This tornado was somewhat similar to the one that hit Sherman in that the F5 damage ocurred when the tornado narrowed near the end of its lifespan. The tornado reached a maximum width of 330 yards, causing mostly F1 and F2 damage. Near the end of its meandering path it narrowed to less than 100 yards wide and became extremely intense, destoying several homes on the edge of Elie. A well-anchored brick house was ripped from its foundation and thrown.

Can you classify a tornado just by looking at it?
If you mean rating a tornado on the Fujita scale (F0 to F5) or Enhanced Fujita scale (EF0 to EF5), then no. The only real way to rate a tornado is to survey the damage after the tornado has gone through. Although the strongest tornadoes tend to be larger this is not always the case. The Elie, Manitoba tornado of 2007, for example was relatively small looking tornado but received a rating of F5. On the other hand the Happy, Texas tornado was a huge wedge, but was only a low F2. Furthermore the size of the funnel might not represent the size of the actual tornado. The width of a tornado is determined by examining the width of the damage path, which can extend beyond the visible funnel.
