Best Answer

There is no tornado that can definitively be said to be the weakest. The lowest rating a tornado can get is EF0. When you get into the lower ranges of EF0 it becomes debatable as to whether an event should even be considered a tornado.

What is the weakest point of a tornado?

the weakest part of the tornado is the top because all of th debree is getting gathered up at the bottom which is very dangerous.


Is an ef2 tornado the 3rd weakest?

Technically, yes. EF0 is the weakest, EF1 the second weakest, and EF2 the third weakest. However, Some meterologists consider EF2 and stronger tornadoes as strong, as only about 10% of tornadoes are rated EF2 or higher.


How close can you get before a tornado sucks you in?

That depends on the tornado. In the very weakest tornadoes it would be possible to stand with some difficult inside the tornado itself. In a strong enough tornado the winds may be strong enough to pull you in from as much as 200 yards away, perhaps more.


What was the death rate of the Edmonton tornado?

The death toll of the Edmonton, Alberta tornado of 1987 was 27, making it the second deadliest tornado in Canadian history.


Largest and deadliest tornado in Oklahoma history?

The largest tornado and deadliest tornado in Oklahoma tornado were actually two separate tornadoes. The deadliest tornado in Oklahoma history was the Woodward tornado of April 9, 1947. This tornado killed a total of 181 people; 68 in Texas, and 107 in Oklahoma. It was estimated to be between 1 and 2 miles wide. The largest tornado in Oklahoma history may be debated. The official title holder is the El Reno tornado of May 31, 2013. This tornado was measured by Doppler Radar to be 2.6 miles wide. It killed 8 people. However a likely contender for widest on record is the Mulhall tornado of May 3, 1999. Doppler Radar indicated that this tornado may have been as much as 4.3 miles wide. This tornado killed 2 people.

What is the weakest tornado kind?

The weakest category of tornado is EF0 on the enhanced Fujita scale. The weakest of the two actual varieties of tornado are type 2 tornadoes, those that don't form in supercells (landspouts and most waterspouts). These rarelly exceed Ef0 intensity.


Is f1 the biggest tornado?

No. For one thing, Fujita (F) scale ratings measure the strength of a tornado, not its size. F1 is the second weakest rating a tornado can get (F0 is the weakest). Weak tornadoes such as this are generally small, but occasionally can be large. The highest rating a tornado can get is F5.


What city state coutry did the weakest tornado hit?

It is impossible to say, as we do not know what the weakest tornado was. Among the weakest tornadoes, it is difficult to say whether one was weaker than another. In addition, such weak tornadoes often escape notice.


Is a tornado given a number?

No, but it is given a rating based on the EF scale which ranges from EF0-EF5. EF0- Weakest tornado. EF5- Most violent tornado.


Weakest catorgory of tornadoes?

The weakest category of tornado is EF0 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which runs from EF0 to EF5. EF0 wind estimates range from 65 to 85 mph. An EF0 tornado causes light damage.


What is the weakest wind speed of a tornado?

Tornadoes have had estimated winds as low as 60 mph. Below that it is debatable whether the circulation is a tornado.


Are there 6 categories in a tornado?

Yes. There are six strength categories of tornado on the Enhanced Fujita scale ranging from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest.


Is an ef2 tornado the 3rd weakest?

Is even the weakest possible tornado much stronger than any one human?

Yes.


What was the largerst tornado in history?

The largest tornado ever in history was found in Tornado Alley, (obviously named after the amount of tornadoes which started.)


What is the weakest tornado?

An "F0" category according to the Fujita scale or the EF0 category on the Enhanced Fujita scale.
