What is the wind speed of EF5 tornado?
An EF5 tornado has winds in excess of 200 mph.
What is the name of the scale used to find out how strong the tornado cell is?
The scale used to measure the strength of a tornado is called the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale). It categorizes tornadoes based on the damage caused, ranging from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest).
How many houses can an EF5 tornado take down?
An EF5 tornado can take down well-built houses and even sweep away some structures completely. The exact number of houses that can be destroyed by an EF5 tornado can vary depending on factors such as construction quality, size, and density of the affected area.
How bad can tornadoes get what category?
Tornadoes are classified based on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, ranging from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). EF5 tornadoes have winds over 200 mph and can cause catastrophic damage and loss of life. These are extremely rare but are considered the most devastating tornadoes.
What does EF4 or EF5 mean?
EF4 and EF5 are categories on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale used to rate the intensity of tornadoes based on the damage they cause. EF4 tornadoes have wind speeds of 166-200 mph and cause devastating damage, while EF5 tornadoes have wind speeds over 200 mph and cause catastrophic damage.
What are some F5 tornadoes?
The most recent ten F5/EF5 tornadoes are:Moore/Oklahoma City F5 of May 3, 1999Greensburg, KS EF5 of May 4, 2007Elie, MB F5 of June 22, 2007Parkersburg, IA EF5 of May 25, 2008Philadelphia, MS EF5 of April 27, 2011Hackleburg, AL EF5 of April 27, 2011Smithville, MS EF5 of April 27, 2011Rainsville, AL EF5 of April 27, 2011Joplin, Missouri EF5 of May 22, 2011Piedmont/El Reno, OK EF5 of May 24, 2011
What are the most dangerous tornadoes?
The most dangerous tornadoes are those rated F5 or EF5. Perhaps the most dangerous situation is that of a large, fast-moving EF5 tornado that is obscured by rain and/or clouds. These factors have contributed to very high death tolls in some tornadoes.
What is the top speed of a EF5 tornado?

No, fortunately I have not seen an EF5 tornado, that is in real life So, Yeah
What does the E in an EF5 Tornado stand for?
The "E" stands for Enhanced, as EF5 is a rating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
What does EF5 stand for?
EF5 refers to the highest rating on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which runs from 0 to 5.
Is there such thing as an EF6 tornado?
No, the maximum rating is EF5. The primary factor in rating a tornado is damage, and since EF5 damage is total destruction there is no room for a higher category. Also, there is no upper bound for EF5 winds; any tornado with estimated winds over 200 mph is an EF5.
Is EF5 the second dangerous tornado?
No. EF5 is the strongest tornado on the Enhanced Fujita and therefore the most dangerous type.
What was the date of the May 2011 EF5 tornado in Oklahoma?
The one EF5 tornado in Oklahoma in 2011 occurred on May 24.
How fast does an EF6 tornado spin at?
An EF6 tornado does not exist on the Enhanced Fujita scale. The scale only goes up to EF5, which represents tornadoes with estimated wind speeds of over 200 mph.
When was the last EF5 tornado?
As of February 13, 2015 the last recorded EF5 tornado struck Moore, Oklahoma on May 20, 2013.
