An EF5 tornado has winds in excess of 200 mph.
Tornado intensity is determined by damage, which is used to estimate wind speed. These wind speed estimates are used to sort a tornado into one of six categories from EF0 to EF5.
There is no e-5 rating for tornadoes. You most likely mean EF5. An EF5 tornado has estimated winds over 200 mph.
Its called the enhanced fujita scale...it measures from an EF0 to an EF5 how fast the tornado was spinning. The wind speed is determined by examining damage.
Tornadoes are rated on six levels ranging from EF0 to EF5 based on wind speed estimates derived from severe the damage is.
Wind speeds in an EF5 tornado are estimated to be in excess of 200 mph. They can reach much higher, potentially exceeding 300 mph.

There is no set upper limit for an EF5 tornado. Any tornado with estimated winds in excess of 200 mph is considered an EF5.
The intensity of a tornado is determined by damage, wchi is used to estimate wind speed and assign it a rating from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest)
The wind speed in a tornado may reach speeds well over 200 mph, though few tornadoes are that intense. Winds over 300 mph may occur in rare instances. A 200 mph wind speed marks the upper limit of wind estimates for an EF4 tornado. A tornado with estimated winds higher than that would be rated EF5.
The intensity of a tornado is determined by damage. Damage is examined and the tornado's peak wind speed is estimated. This is used to rate it on the Enhanced Fujita Scale which ranges from EF0 as the weakest to EF5 as the strongest.
Its called the enhanced fujita scale...it measures from an EF0 to an EF5 how fast the tornado was spinning. The wind speed is determined by examining damage.
Engeineers and meteorologist examine the damage done by a tornado to estimate its peak wind speed. The tornado is then assigned a rating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest) based on that information.
Yes. The intensity of a tornado is estimated on the Enhanced Fujita scale. On this scale, engineers and meteorologists analyze damage and estimate the wind speed. The highest wind speed estimate is then used to assign a rating, ranging from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest.
If you mean the one from April 27, 2011, the wind speed for that tornado was estimated at 205 mph (330 km/h), qualifying it as an EF5. Some have suggested, however, that the severe ground scouring caused by this tornado indicates winds far higher than 205 mph.
Tornadoes are rated on six levels ranging from EF0 to EF5 based on wind speed estimates derived from severe the damage is.
The Smithville, Mississippi tornado had estimated peak winds of 205 mph (though some analysis indicates far stronger winds), earning it a rating of EF5.
