Where was the biggest F5 tornado?

It is not known for certain, but a likely candidate was the tornado that hit Seneca, Kansas on May 27, 1896. At one point the tornado was 2.2 miles wide. The largest tornado ever recorded was the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013, measured at one point to be 2.6 miles wide. This tornado was officially rated EF3 as it was over open country when it reached peak intensity and so caused relatively little damage at that point. Radar analysis, however, suggests that it may have reached EF5 intensity.


On the Richter scale how big was the biggest tornado?

The Richter scale is for earthquakes, not tornadoes. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale. The largest tornado ever recorded was the 2.6 mile wide monster that hit near El Reno, Oklahoma in 2013. However, size does not necessarily correspond to a tornado's rating. Ratings are based on the severity of the damage a tornado inflicts. The El Reno tornado was officially rated EF3 but there are some indicators that it may have reached EF5 intensity, the highest rating possible.
