The strongest tornado in the Fujita scale is F5.
Tornado damage has traditionally been rated on the Fujita scale. However, the United States and Canada now rate tornado damage on the similar Enhanced Fujita scale.
The scale used to identify the severity of a tornado is called the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale. It ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest) based on the tornado's estimated wind speeds and resultant damage.
EF on the tornado scale stands for Enhanced Fujita scale. It is used to classify tornado intensity based on the damage caused by the tornado, ranging from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). The EF scale takes into account the strength of the wind and the type of damage observed.
The Enhanced Fujita Scale rates the strength of a Tornado by the damage it has caused!
Tornadoes do have a scale by which they are rated. It is the Enhanced Fujita scale. However, trackers do not use it to rate the tornado as it occurs. Damage is assessed by experts after the tornado has passed.
the Fujita scale (not the fajita scale) is used to tell how powerful a tornado is.
The is no Fajita scale. The Fujita scale provides basic standards by which to assess the damage done by a tornado. Based on the severity of the damage a tornado is assigned a rating, which can range from F0 for the weakest tornadoes to F5 for the strongest.
F5. And its the Fujita scale, not fajita.

No, scientists do not use a fajita scale for hurricanes. Instead, they use the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which categorizes hurricanes based on their sustained wind speeds and potential damage. The scale ranges from Category 1 (minimal damage) to Category 5 (catastrophic damage). The fajita scale, on the other hand, measures the intensity of tornadoes.

The worst tornado in U.S. history, the Tri-State tornado, was an F5. The worst tornado in the world was the Daultapur/Saturia Bangladesh tornado of April 25 1989. The intensity of this tornado is unknown.
The Waco tornado was an F5.
The strongest category of tornado is EF5 (F5 in countries that still use the original Fujita scale). However, although these tornadoes are the strongest they are not always the largest. In fact, for nine years the largest tornado on record, which hit Hallam, Nebraska on May 22, 2004 was an F4. Though weaker than an F5 this is still and extremely powerful tornado. This was later surpassed by the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013, which was rated EF5.
The Largest tornado on record was rated F4. Based on wind estimates of the newer EF scale that would put winds in the range of 166 to 200 mph. Tornadoes can produce much faster winds than this, but that does not necessarily make them larger.
The tornado scale, known as the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale), was developed by a team led by Dr. T. Theodore Fujita in collaboration with Allen Pearson. It was an update to the original Fujita Scale of tornado intensity.
