2020年4月10日 · Below we take a look at the five deadliest F/EF5 tornadoes. 1. The Tri-State Tornado of March 25, 1925. The "single" deadliest tornado in U.S. history was the famous Tri-State Tornado of...

This list includes tornadoes with possible F5 or EF5 damage indicated by the National Weather Service as well as tornadoes with possible F5/EF5 damage by other branches of the United States government, tornado experts (i.e. Thomas P. Grazulis, Ted Fujita), or meteorological research institutions (i.e. European Severe Storms Laboratory

As of February 2025, the drought of officially-rated EF5 tornadoes is ongoing, spanning over 4,000 days. [2] The Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale is a damage scale that rates tornado intensity based on the severity of the damage they cause. It is used in some countries, including the United States and France. [7] .

As of January 2025, the United States has gone over 11 years without the occurrence of a tornado rated EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, constituting the longest “drought” in F5/EF5-rated tornadoes since the beginning of official records (1950).

2024年4月28日 · Here’s a look at how a tornado leaves behind EF-5 damage and why so few intense tornadoes ever manage to meet that terrifying level of destruction. Ted Fujita’s scale formalized tornado ...

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.

The strongest, and most uncommon tornado is the EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. Storms producing tornadoes of this strength are exceptionally rare, but they do happen. To be classified as an EF5, wind speeds must reach over 201 mph.

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 tornado, known as the Greensburg EF5 or GT in later studies, [note 2] tracked 28.8 miles (46.3 km) through the area, killing at least ten people and injuring sixty-three others. The tornado was the first to be rated EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale after the retirement of the original Fujita scale in the United States on February 1, 2007. [3]

This is a list of tornadoes rated F5 on the Fujita scale, EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, IF5 on the International Fujita scale , or T10-T11 on the TORRO scale, which is equivalent to an F5 rating. These ratings (F5/EF5/IF5/T10/T11) are the highest possible ratings on the various global tornado intensity scales.
