"SirRobbins \ You can't have an EF6 tornado at all if you're basing it on windspeed. Tornadoes are NOT rated by windspeed they are rated by damage. EF5 damage is therefore the worse it can get. EF6 should NOT still be being talked about, let alone considered for the future. There's a reason why the EF Scale only goes up to 5.

Dark realms Productions \ The TriState Tornado(does) was/were not rated because they didn't started rating them until the Fifties. Also you can't give an EF6 rating to a tornado based on windspeed. The Enhanced Fujita Scale was created to rate tornadoes based on damage rather than windspeed. So even if you have a tornado with 470-mile-per-hour winds, if it destroys anything it will still be only rated EF5. The EF Scale rates tornadoes by damage. Therefore a 470-mph-wind tornado can only be rated EF5 if it hits something. A tornado's windspeed does not affect its rating at all. You wouldn't be able to tell what rating it is until a day a more after the tornado dissipates.

Evil Burgers \ A rating of EF6/F6 is not possible because the Fujita scale based on tornado DAMAGE, not windspeed. Tornado damage doesn't get too much worse than EF5/F5. That being said, even if you have a tornado with a windspeed of 470 miles per hour, if the thing destroys anything it will still be EF5. . . NOT an EF6, or an EF11. EF5 is the highest level on the scale."

These are what I had to tell them every time somebody mentions an "EF6" tornado.
