Can Hawaii sink?

The islands don't last forever. As the Pacific plate moves Hawaii's volcanoes farther from the hotspot, they erupt less frequently, then no longer tap into the upwelling of molten rock and die. The island erodes and the crust beneath it cools, shrinks and sinks, and the island is again submerged.

Keeping this in consideration, can you surf a tsunami?

You can't surf a tsunami because it doesn't have a face. On the contrary, a tsunami wave approaching land is more like a wall of whitewater. It doesn't stack up cleanly into a breaking wave; only a portion of the wave is able to stack up tall. One may also ask what happens to ships during a tsunami? Since tsunami waves cannot be seen in the open ocean, do not return to port if you are at sea and a tsunami warning has been issued. Port facilities may become damaged and hazardous with debris. Boats are safer from tsunami damage while in the deep ocean ( > 100 m) rather than moored in a harbor.

Consequently, what is a f5 tornado?

This is a list of tornadoes which have been officially or unofficially labeled as F5, EF5, or an equivalent rating, the highest possible ratings on the various tornado intensity scales. F5 tornadoes were estimated to have had maximum winds between 261 mph (420 km/h) and 318 mph (512 km/h). Regarding this, is a f6 tornado possible? There is no such thing as an F6 tornado, even though Ted Fujita plotted out F6-level winds. The Fujita scale, as used for rating tornados, only goes up to F5. Even if a tornado had F6-level winds, near ground level, which is *very* unlikely, if not impossible, it would only be rated F5.

Is there an f7 tornado?

Was the Jarrell tornado an F6? Path of the southwestward-moving Jarrell, TX, tornado. Based on its destruction, the tornado easily earned an F5 rating on the original Fujita Tornado Damage Scale, which corrresponded to estimated top 3-second gusts of 261 - 318 mph.

What led to the tornado outbreak on Dec 10?

Warmer temperatures contributed to the development of thunderstorms, which were fueled by warm, moist air moving up from the Gulf of Mexico. Those storms then became tornadic because they developed in an environment where the horizontal winds from the ground up to about 20,000 feet increased significantly.
