There is no such thing as an F1 hurricane. F1 is a rating on the Fujita scale, which is used for tornadoes, not hurricanes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale, which ranges from category 1 to category 5. The maximum wind speed for an F1 tornado is 112 mph (180 km/h). The maximum wind speed for a category 1 hurricane is 95 mph (153 km/h).

What is the highest wind speed for f1 tornado?
On the original Fujita scale the top wind es for an F1 tornado were set at 112 mph. Winds estimates on the more accurate Enhanced Fujita scale were adjusted for all categories, but the upper bound for anEF1 tornado was shifted only slightly to 110 mph.
What do scientists use to measure hurricane?
Wind speed is the determining factor for the Saffir-Simpson rating (Category 1-5). This can be measure with an anemometer or estimated based on satellite imagery. Another measure of intensity is barometric pressure, which is measure with a barometer.
What are the wind speeds of an F1 tornado?
Estimated wind speeds for an F1 tornado on the original Fujita Scale are 73-112 mph. These were found to be inaccurate, though, and were adjusted to 86-110 mph for an EF1 tornado.
What is the difference between a F1 tornado and an EF1 tornado?
There is very little difference. In February of 2007 the Fujita or "F" scale was replaced with the Enhanced Fujita or "EF" scale. The EF scale uses more detailed analysis of damage than the original F scale so that tornadoes can be rated more accurately. The EF scale also provides different estimates of wind speeds for the degrees of damage. So EF1 damage is essentially the same as F1 damage but it may be examined in greater detail. Additionally F1 wind estimates range from 73 mph to 112 mph while EF1 wind estimates range from 86 mph to 110 mph.
How big is an F1 tornado?
An F1 is a moderate tornado having wind speeds of 117-181 km/h (73-112 mph). It may cause moderate damage, peeling off roofing, pushing mobile homes off their foundations, and pushing moving automobiles off the road.
How long can a hurricane travel over land classified as an F1 hurricane?
First, F1 is not a category used to classify hurricanes, it is used to classify tornadoes. You probably mean a category 1 hurricane. The farthest inland a hurricane has maintained hurricane strength was nearly 200 miles.
Can you watch f1 on ESPN?
Not in the USA ... F1 can be viewed on the Speed Channel.
What is the highest wind speed for f1 tornado?
On the original Fujita scale the top wind es for an F1 tornado were set at 112 mph. Winds estimates on the more accurate Enhanced Fujita scale were adjusted for all categories, but the upper bound for anEF1 tornado was shifted only slightly to 110 mph.
How many tornadoes were there in hurricane Hugo?
Hurricane Hugo produce 3 tornadoes. 2 rated F1 and 1 rated F0.
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.
