List of F5 tornadoes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Contents

As of February 1, 2007, the Fujita scale has been recalibrated to more accurately match tornado speeds with their damage, with the new system called the Enhanced Fujita scale. No earlier tornadoes are reclassified, but further classifications from the United States will be made using the new scale.

Total 107.
