An F5 tornado, now EF5 since the scale changed of 2007.
The most dangerous category of tornado is EF5. It is the most dangerous because it is the strongest and the most destructive level of tornado. In an EF5 tornado well built houses will be completely blown away and disintegrate, so even being in the basement does not guarantee survival. These tornadoes produce large debris flying at high speeds that will result in serious injury or death if it strikes a person.
The strongest winds in a tornado are typically on the right side of the tornado's path, known as the "right-front quadrant." This area can experience wind speeds exceeding 200 mph, making it the most dangerous part of the tornado.
It is difficult to pinpoint the "most dangerous" thunderstorm as the severity of storms can vary depending on location and impact. However, some notable severe thunderstorms include the Tri-State Tornado outbreak in 1925 and the Super Outbreak of 1974.
Most deaths during a tornado are caused by flying debris. High winds can turn everyday objects into dangerous projectiles that can cause severe injuries and fatalities. Taking cover in a sturdy building or underground shelter is the best way to protect yourself from flying debris during a tornado.

Tornadoes are among the most dangerous forms of weather, but it is difficult to say objectively whether they are more dangerous than other events such as hurricanes.
