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 percent of tornadoes are f1's?

Approximately 61% of tornadoes are classified as F1 on the Fujita scale, which indicates wind speeds between 73 and 112 mph. These tornadoes are considered to be moderate in intensity and can cause notable damage.


What speed is f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 and f6 tornado?

Here are the wind estimates for the Fujita scale categories F0: 40-72 mph F1: 73-112 mph F2: 113-157 mph F3: 158-206 mph F4: 207-261 mph F5: 261-318 mph F6: 319-379 mph Note that the F6 category is entirely theoretical and is not actually used in practice. Since actual ratings are based on damage, and since F5 damage is complete destruction, no tornado can ever be rated higher than F5. These wind speeds are estimates meant to correspond with different damage levels that have since been found to be inaccurate. They have since been corrected as follows: EF0: 65-85 mph EF1: 86-110 mph EF2: 111-135 mph EF3: 136-165 mph EF4: 166-200 mph EF5: over 200 mph. While the wind speed estimates have been adjusted for each category, the degree of damage remains the same.

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.
