is there really a F6 tornado?

Wikipedia says no.

F6 Inconceivable tornado 319-379 mph These winds are very unlikely. The small area of damage they might produce would probably not be recognizable along with the mess produced by F4 and F5 wind that would surround the F6 winds. Missiles, such as cars and refrigerators would do serious secondary damage that could not be directly identified as F6 damage. If this level is ever achieved, evidence for it might only be found in some manner of ground swirl pattern, for it may never be identifiable through engineering studies

Yeah. There are F6...

I'm pretty sure we learned about them in science this year @_@ Had to draw pictures of the different levels -.- So ghey.

I've been researching tornadoes for well over a year now. There is a level of F6 on the scale but not used but you would only use that level if you were in Canada as US now uses the Enhanced Fujita Scale so it would be called EF6 if one existed.

The strongest Tornado recorded in Canada was on June 22, 2007 the only F5 ever recorded in Canadian history it was near a town in Elie, Manitoba and it was a small funnel tornado proving that size does not determine the Fujita Level.

Here is the video of the strongest Tornado ever recorded in Canada

However the strongest Tornado ever recorded in the world was in The United States in Bridge Creek - Moore, Oklahoma on May 3rd 1999. This tornado produced the strongest wind speed ever recorded on earth. The tornado itself had reached windspeeds of over 300mph

Did you see the cadaver dog?

The one from Canada just amazed me. I guess because it was in the daytime and people were just driving right by like it was nothing.

Most of ours happen at night. We do get our fair share of daylight ones. But, it usually gets almost as black as night when they come and they are surrounded with storms.

To be honest the Canada Tornado scared me more than the Oklahoma Tornado did. Probably because the tornado is very grey and small while packing F5 winds.
