What is the difference between Gale and F5 tornado?
A gale is a low pressure system (a large, rotating storm system) that takes place outside the tropics and has winds of 39-54 mph. A gale tornado or F0 tornado, is the weakest category of tornado that breaks tree limbs, peals peels of shingles and takes down gutters. An F5 tornado is is the strongest category of tornado with winds that can exceed 300 mph. These tornadoes can tear houses clean off their foundations, destroy reinforced concrete structures, strip trees of their bark, and rip the asphalt from roads. In short, an F5 is far more powerful.

How many f-5 tornadoes were there in April and May in 2011?
There have been estimated at least 109 F5 tornadoes in the U.S. Since the introduction of the Enhanced Fujita scale there have been 9 EF5 tornadoes, which is essentially equivalent to an F5. Note that this number should be taken with a grain of salt as it can be difficult to distinguish between F4 and F5 damage, especially in records that must be evaluated based on historical accounts.
Can 90 F5 tornadoes touch down?

The tornado that hit Worcester, Massachusetts in 1953 was officially rated F4, but some experts believe it may have been an F5.
How are tornadoes catagorized?
Tornadoes are categorized on the Fujita scale from F0 to F5 based on how bad their damag is.
