There are theoretical categories beyond F5 but none of theme have ever been used. Since F5 damage is total destruction there is no real way of rating a tornado higher than F5.
Also, a tornado's rating is not dependent on its size. So a bigger tornado does not necessarily get a higher rating.
What else can I help you with?
How powerful is a F6 tornado?
A F6 tornado does not exist on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which ranges from F0 to F5. The most powerful tornado category, an F5 tornado, has wind speeds exceeding 200 mph and can cause catastrophic damage.
Did Ada Oklahoma ever have an F5 or EF5 tornado before?
No. There have been no F5 tornadoes recorded in or near Ada.
What happens in an F5 tornado?
An F5 can destroy anything and everything in its path, wiping houses clean of their foundations. In some cases entire towns can be destroyed.
What is more powerful earth's F5 tornado or Jupiter's red spot?
It depends on what criteria you use. The Great Red Spot produces winds of about 270 mph. An F5 tornado can produce winds faster than this, in some cases over 300 mph. The winds of even the largest tornado, though, are limited to an area a couple miles wide and the strongest winds affect an even smaller area. The Great Red Spot is many thousands of miles across, larger than our entire planet, and so carries much more kinetic energy than any storm on Earth.
Have F5 tornadoes touched down in Georgia?
To date the have been no F5 or EF5 tornadoes in Georgia, though it has had a few F4 and EF4 tornadoes. However, one tornado is worth noting. The Rainsville, Alabama EF5 tornado of April 27, 2011 moved into Georgia where it caused some damage, however the only EF5 damage occurred in Alabama. Damage in Georgia was no higher than EF1 as the tornado was near the end of its life cycle when it crossed the state line. As such, it does not count as an EF5 for Georgia.
Has Colorado had any F5 tornado?
No. There has never been an F5 tornado recorded in Colorado. It has had a handful of F4 tornadoes.
Which is bigger an F5 tornado or a F1 tornado?
In most cases an F5 tornado will be larger than an F1. However, tornado ratings are a measure of the strength of a tornado, not its size. F5 is the strongest category, and such tornadoes are usually very large, but a few have been fairly small. Conversely, F1 is the second lowest rating (F0 is the lowest) and such tornadoes are generally small, but some have been huge.
Can an F5 tornado be dangerous?
Any tornado can be dangerous. An F5 tornado is extremely dangerous. Hit by the full force of an F5 tornado, even the strongest houses will be swept away. Many F5 tornadoes are quite large, capable of leveling whole neighborhoods and killing dozens in a matter of minutes.
What is a F4 and F5 tornado?
F4 and F5 are the two strongest categories of tornado on the Fujita scale. A damage based scale which rates tornadoes from F0 to F5. An F4 tornado will reduce most houses to piles of rubble. An F5 tornado will completely annihilate almost any house and wipe it clean off its foundation. Winds in an F5 can exceed 300 mph.
Has there ever been an F7 tornado?
No. No tornado stronger than F5 has ever been recorded.
How many people did the most powerful tornado kill?
There is no way of knowing for certain what the most powerful tornado was. Once a tornado reaches F5 strength it is difficult to tell whether or not it was stronger than any other F5. The tornado with the strongest recorded winds, the OKC area tornado of May 3, 1999 killed 36. However, other F5 tornadoes that did not have their winds measured may have been stronger.
Can you have an F5 tornado in Denver?
It is unlikely. There has never been a recorded F5 tornado in Colorado.
How big can an f5 tornado be?
Note that tornado ratings are not based on size, and F5 tornadoes have been recorded at a wide variety of widths. One F5 tornado in Kansas was 2.2 miles wide. However, one F5 in Texas was less than a quarter of a mile wide, and narrowed to only 60 yards when it reach ed F5 strength.
What is the name of the state that had an f5 tornado on May 3 1999?
The F5 tornado of 1999 May 3, 1999 does not have a name, nor does any tornado. It is often called the Oklahoma City tornado, the Moore tornado, or the Bridge Creek-Moore tornado in reference to the areas it hit.
Has Florida ever had an F5 or EF5 tornado?
No. Florida has never recorded an F5 or EF5 tornado.
How do F5 tornadoes form from a F1 tornado?
An F5 tornado does not form directly from an F1 tornado. Tornado intensity is determined by the Enhanced Fujita Scale based on wind speeds and damage. It is possible for a tornado to rapidly intensify due to various atmospheric conditions, leading to an increase in intensity from an F1 to an F5 tornado.
What was the most recent F5 tornado?
The most recent F5/EF5 tornado was the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 20, 2013.
