No, it depends on wind speed, not damage or size, but wind speed. so it could very well be an f5
Lets say a tornado had 300 km/h of wind speed; it may have not hit a city, so why should it be a F-5? If you still dont believe me do some research on them.
Ok, after doing some more research, According to several sites, the F scale is based on wind speed AS WELL AS damage done. So it is not only the damage, but also the wind speed, so yes, I was wrong as I had my facts a little off. My apologies.
F5 my ass.
Yes but, apologizing is not needed, as i was wrong too.
you cant call a tornado an F-5 due to size you gotta go by what destruction it has done.
and the douche of the week trophy goes to ……..
Idiot i posted that a month ago
ya and your comment still sounds as douchey as it did 4 weeks ago…..amazing!!! it still has some punch and thats why you won douche of week
and at least i started a actual debate about factors of the tornado. And you are just randomly deciding what you think should be what when noone even gives a crap about it.
that thing is huge and freaky.
DAYUMMMMM
its moving so fuckin fast ….
that is an american size tornado lol…..
its by width and destruction
ah okay thank you, i was always told by distruction. thanks for clearifying mate
how did it go so fast?
Tornado classification has nothing to do with width. It’s damage. They use the damage to deduce approximate wind speeds. If a tornado does no damage it’s automatically rated ef 0 no matter the wind speed.
Wrong buddy. The wind speed has a direct correlation to damage. That’s why the wind speeds are approximates. Wikipedia the enhanced fujita scale my friend. If it does no damage it’s an ef 0 no matter the wind speed.
Yeah, um, that comment was posted a LONG time ago. I have learned since then. Good timing on that reply there my friend.
That’s not true; it IS by destruction. Check out the Elie, Manitoba tornado - it was rather small but was an F5 anyways. Compare it to wedge tornadoes and see the size difference.
An F0 can be larger than an F5 in width or length or volume or whatever other physical characteristics. Unlikely but possible.
Size has nothing to do with tornadoes. It’s solely based on winds peed, which is normally measured through the destruction caused.
I think the footage was sped up
It’s by destruction, width has nothing to do width it.
EXACTLY
someone told me that it wasnt but i knew they were wrong
