On May 03, 1999a series of tornados hit the suburbs of Oklahoma City. Now, this is not that unusual for Oklahoma except that one of the tornados resulted in a recorded wind speed of 318 MPH or 509 KM/H, the world's fastest tornado ever recorded. The tornado ranked F-5 on the 0 to 6 Fujita scale, just 1 MPH short of being classified a F-6, a feat that has not been accomplished to this day.
by their windspeed
The wind speed for Waco Tornado was over 250 mph winds.
Yes. Texas has one of the highest tornado incidence rates in the country.
Tornadoes have been confirmed with winds as low as 60 mph. Below that it is debatable as to whether a funnel is a tornado, as winds under 58 mph are not considered severe.
Tornadoes most commonly occur in Tornado Alley, which includes parts of the central United States such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Tornadoes can also occur in other regions around the world, but Tornado Alley has the highest frequency of tornadoes.
Tornado Alley did not occur. It was not an event. Tornado Alley is a region in the central United States.
a tornado can occur at any time of the day or the year
Tornadoes will always occur, with or without global warming. So far the only known trend in tornado activity that may be linked to global warming is a northward shift of the areas of highest tornado activity in Tornado Alley.
No. The highest rating a tornado can attain is F5.
No. The highest rating a tornado can get is F5 or EF5.
It is impossible to predict where the next tornado will occur.
There is no such thing as an F6 tornado. The highest rating a tornado can be assigned is F5. Even if a tornado were to occur with winds in the supposed F6 range, damage would be no different from that of an F5 as all virtually structures would be obliterated anyway.
