Theoretical winds for an F6 tornado are 319-379 mph. However, because tornado ratings are based on damage, the highest a tornado could ever be rated is F5. So the F6 rating is purely theoretical with no applications in the real world. On the enhanced scale there is no EF6 level theoretical or otherwise.
The F6 category is purely theoretical. Because Fujita scale ratings are based on damage rather than directly on wind speed, there is no room for a level hihger than F5. Now that that point is made, the theoretical range of F6 winds is 319-379 mph.
A tornado.
Doppler radar tracks the movement of the storm and can determine how fast it's going and, to a very limited degree, how fast its winds are. However, in nearly all cases the wind speeds reported in a tornado are estimated based on the severity of the damage that has been done.
In terms of weather a tornado is a very fast process.
When surface winds slow down in a tornado due to ground friction, the tornado may weaken or dissipate altogether. This is because a tornado's strength is dependent on the fast rotation of air at the surface, so when this rotation slows down, the tornado's intensity is reduced.
No. The Tri-State tornado was an F5. There is no such thing as an F6 tornado.
There has never been an F6 tornado. F0 is the most common type.
well im sorry but there is no such thing as a F6 F5 is the highest tornado rating
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.
No. The highest rating a tornado can attain is F5.
The F6 category is purely theoretical. Because Fujita scale ratings are based on damage rather than directly on wind speed, there is no room for a level hihger than F5. Now that that point is made, the theoretical range of F6 winds is 319-379 mph.
Yes, it is possible for an F6 tornado to form, although it is extremely rare and not officially recognized by the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which currently only goes up to F5. The conditions required for an F6 tornado to occur would be incredibly intense and destructive.
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.
No. The highest rating a tornado can acheive is F5.
No. The very first Fujita scale included an F6 but the categorization was never used - F5 is the highest a tornado can be.
No. The Fujita (F) scale uses damage to rate tornadoes and F5 damage is total destruction, leaving no room for a higher category. So the F6 tornado is a purely theoretical idea.
No. The highest category possible is F5.
