Well, there isn’t such a thing as a F12 tornado as the EF scale goes up to EF5. But, if there was, a EF12 , it would totally destroy anything in its path. Debris would be carried millions of miles away. It would be catastrophic if that happened. in other words, it would pretty much be the end of the world.

Total Destruction.

no f-12′s number only goes to ef5 and that is a big one. A ef5 is as scary as I ever want to see. I don’t believe it would be the end of the world if there was an f 12 though.

EF-12 tornadoes are not possible, the Enhanced Fujita Scale only reaches up to an EF-5 tornado. No source of power on Earth today can create a tornado of EF-12 magnitude.
But if it were to somehow occur, the consequences would be devastating. It would probably be 2 or 3 miles wide (possibly wider) because of all the material and debris that it has rotating around it. Everything in its path would be destroyed in seconds. No building would be structurally stable enough to withstand this violent tornadoes incredible winds. They would most likely be over supersonic speeds. It would be a disaster that the world has never seen.

The F scale does go to F12. The wind speed is listed as "Mach 1".
Prior to that, the scale only went to F5 which stated that all tornadoes in excess of 275 miles per hour were to be ranked as F5.
However, on May 5, 1999, a tornado that measure wind speeds of 318 miles per hour in Oklahoma, OK.
Since then, the meteorological community decided to extend the F scale. Now, if winds speeds of 319 miles per hour, it will be considered an F6.
Now, since the creation of the EF scale, I do not know if this addition is considered.
Hope this helps!

the highest tornado is a f-5, but if f-12s existed, they would be really really really big with really really bad destruction.

We couldn’t possibly no if there has never even been one. We could guess that wind speeds would be near the thousands mph, and everything it got near it destroyed. So it would be extremely bad.

there would not be a single person in the u.s.but an f12 tornado would KILL US ALL!!!!!!but i would not be afraid,ok i would.i would cry and die crying if i did,well lets leave it like that god PLEASE

The f6, though it dont officialy exsist, is 310 mph so an f12 would twice this at 1220 mph and would have the power to demolish the city of new york into nothing
Daniel on December 14, 2010 at 6:25 pm
My math is a little off I ment to say 620 mph
