There is not given size for an F5 tornado as ratings are based on damage rather than size. Typical F5 damage is well constructed houses blown clean off their foundations.
We do not know. The Natchez tornado was in 1840, and it is hard to get reliable information from records that old. The tornado itself was probably an F4 or F5, which would put wind speeds in the range of 200 mph or more, but that does not indicate anything about how fast the tornado itself moved.
Much more. Typical F1 damage includes badly damage roofs, trailers overturned or partially destroyed, broken windows and collapsed porches. F1 tornadoes often cause damage in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, occasionally in the millions. Typical F5 damage includes well constructed houses wiped clean off their foundations and reinforced concrete structures heavily damaged. They can even peel asphalt from roads. F5 tornadoes often cause damage in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. A few have even caused over $1 billion in damage.
An F2 tornado does not have any particular size. That is not how the scale works; it rates tornadoes based on damage. An F2 tornado (EF2 as of February 2007) is a tornado that tears roofs from well-built homes, derails trains, and destroys trailers. Winds in an EF2 are estimated at 111 to 135 mph.
An EF5 tornado has an estimated wind speed of over 200 mph (miles per hour,) while an EF4 has wind speeds from 166 up to 200 mph. The scale approximates the intensity of a tornado. "F" stands for the Fujita Scale, with "EF" standing for the Enhanced Fujita Scale. Both rate tornadoes based on engineered wind estimates and damage descriptions. Both F4 and F5 tornadoes are ranked as "intense" and "violent," but the difference between the ratings can only be determined by Doppler Radar data and other technical meteorological measures. See the Wikipedia article linked below for further information and sources. In more detail, an EF4 tornado will level a well built house and blow away ones of with less integrity. An EF5 will wipe well built houses clean off their foundations.
It is unlikely. There has never been a recorded F5 tornado in Colorado.
No. Florida has never recorded an F5 or EF5 tornado.
An F7 tornado does not exist on the Fujita scale used to classify tornadoes. The Fujita scale ranges from F0 to F5, with F5 being the most extreme and destructive category.
The most recent F5/EF5 tornado was the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 20, 2013.
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.
The Waco tornado was an F5.
No. There has never been an F5 tornado recorded in Colorado. It has had a handful of F4 tornadoes.
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.
To date there have been no F5 tornadoes in the Freedom area since 1950. If you are referring to the 1984 tornado, it was an F4.
No, there is not
F5 is the strongest category of tornado which rates tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on damage. An F5 tornado can sweep a house clean off its foundation.
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.
