Worldwide, a total of 67 tornadoes have been officially rated F5/EF5/IF5: 59 in the United States, two each in France and Germany, and one each in Argentina, Australia, Canada, and Italy.

This is a map and list of tornadoes since 1950 which the National Weather Service has rated F5 (before 2007) or EF5 (equivalent, 2007 onward, the most intense damage category on the Fujita and Enhanced Fujita damage scales. The tornadoes are numbered in the order they happened since 1950; so the numbers run from the bottom up.

Since 2013, the United States has experienced a record lack of tornadoes that have been rated EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale by the National Weather Service. [1] This period, dubbed the EF5 drought or EF5 gap by some media outlets, [2] is the longest drought of EF5 tornadoes in recorded history. [3] The drought began following the 2013 Moore EF5 tornado; no EF5 tornadoes have been recorded ...

2024年5月22日 · EF5 tornadoes are the strongest on Earth, capable of truly mind-bending devastation. Fortunately, they don't happen often in the U.S., but that's partly due to how we survey tornado...

The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornado strength from weakest - an EF0 tornado - to strongest - an EF5 tornado - based on damage caused to property and infrastructure. An EF0 tornado has estimated wind speeds from 65–85 mph (29–38 m/s; 105–137 km/h) which usually results in minor structural damage and broken tree limbs.

This page documents all official and unofficial F5/EF5 tornadoes recorded in the United States. The strongest ever recorded was the 1999 Bridge Creek-Moore, Oklahoma tornado, which occurred on May 3, 1999.

2012年4月10日 · I recently detailed the 58 F5/EF-5 tornadoes that have been recorded in the United States. They are the ultimate low probability, but very high consequence weather event. In many ways the tornadoes one step below the F5/EF-5 giants are equally dangerous, with the added problem of being considerably more likely.

Tornadoes rated EF4 or EF5, with damage-based wind estimates of 166 mph or higher, are typically considered violent in the United States. Prior to 2007, the ratings are F4 and F5. There have been 638 such tornadoes rated since 1950.
