Tornadoes

Has there ever been an F6 tornado?

No. Although the old Fujita Scale did allow for an F6 tornado (estimating that winds up to 380 miles [611 kilometers] per hour were theoretically possible), there has been no recorded tornado of that intensity. The EFS does not include an F6 category at all, and lists any tornado with winds over 200 miles (320 kilometers) per hour as an F5.
