Frequently asked questions

Q: Why is that tornado on the list/not on the list of Possible F5/EF5/T10+ tornadoes officially rated F4/EF4/T9 or lower?

A: Every tornado considered for the list had a discussion (some still ongoing) about its inclusion or exclusion from the list. You can view those discussions here and you are welcome to start a new one for any tornado you think should be on the list!

Peshtigo fire

I've heard of at least one source claim a fire whirl caused by the Peshtigo fire in 1871 had the intensity of an F5 tornado and it may warrant mention. I can't find the source at this moment, nor am I sure it strictly counts as a tornado, but given how similar the phenomena are it likely should at least be mentioned in the Possible F5/EF5 intensity section.
