tornados aren't measured by height/length on the Fujita scale. the more destructive the tornado is, the higher it is on the F scale. for this reason, the tornado's level on the F scale is measured after the tornado has passed. storm chasers can estimate the tornado's intensity based off rotational speeds and the amount of debris being generated, but the official estimate is done after everything has settled.

Most of the recorded F5's have been about a half a mile wide, and reaching up into the atmosphere about two miles. This isn't the rule as we know however. An F5 is the highest classification for a tornado, and though you may get the lower end, just barely making it a F5, there are many more that are even stronger than that. There have been F5's that have reached 2 miles wide, though they usually always stay around the two mile high mark.

The average F5 tornado destruction path is close to 3-5 miles. The F5 tornado has such power and a larger fuel from the parent storm it can last up to 20 miles.

The average width for an F-5 tornado would be about a mile.

About 1/3 the size of a Football Field. Hopefully, this is helpful.

It could be ten feet wide or two miles wide, never judge the strength of a tornado by its size.

everyday walking velocity on basic terrain is 4 miles in keeping with hour. so it could take you approximately 890 hours or in simple terms over 37 days. it is assuming you walked nonstop the entire time and didnt decelerate from exhaustion.

You should check it out in the internet. maybe around 100m++
