Is there really no threshold of damage for a Tornado to be considered an ef6?

Question

Thought experiment here. Lets say that a tornado with 450mph winds hits a major city and completely levels several skyscrapers down to the foundations and scours the earth so deep it takes out the parking garages as well

Would that still be an ef5?
