		Knapp said Kansas hasn't experienced an F5 twister since the spring of 1991, when a violent tornado killed 17 and injured 225 on a 60-mile track between Clearwater and Andover in south-central Kansas.

	F6 Tornadoes-What's the Closest We've Come? - Stormtrack
		F6 tornadoes could never be identified in a damage survey (because F5 winds obliterate everything and remove debris), therefore the F6 is a contradiction to its own scale, which is based solely on destruction.
		Well, if that tornado that digs a trench doesn't hit any structures or trees, it would be rated probably no higher than F0, because it caused no damage.
		Put that same tornado over a town, and it wipes out everything, it would probably be an F5, or maybe what some would call a strong F5.
