The Enhanced Fujita scale (abbreviated as EF-Scale) is a scale that rates tornado intensity based on the severity of the damage they cause. It is used in some countries, including the United States and France. [ 1 ]

The TORRO tornado intensity scale (or T-Scale) is a scale measuring tornado intensity between T0 and T11. It was proposed by Terence Meaden of the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (TORRO), a meteorological organisation in the United Kingdom, as an extension of the Beaufort scale.

The Enhanced Fujita Scale or EF Scale, which became operational on February 1, 2007, is used to assign a tornado a 'rating' based on estimated wind speeds and related damage. When tornado-related damage is surveyed, it is compared to a list of Damage Indicators (DIs) and Degrees of Damage (DoD) which help estimate better the range of wind ...

The Fujita scale (F-Scale; / fuˈdʒiːtə /), or Fujita–Pearson scale (FPP scale), is a scale for rating tornado intensity, based primarily on the damage tornadoes inflict on human-built structures and vegetation.

2024年12月5日 · In this tornado simulator, the fastest wind speed is 220 miles per hour, but tornadoes' wind speeds can be as high as 300 miles per hour. How do we measure tornadoes? All tornadoes, and most other severe local windstorms, are assigned a single number from the Enhanced Fujita Scale according to the most intense damage caused by the storm.

The EF Scale will still rate tornado categories from zero to five, but the ranges of wind speed in each category are now more accurate. The EF Scale takes into account more variables than the original F Scale did when assigning a wind speed rating to a tornado.

2025年1月10日 · Moderate tornado 73-112 mph The lower limit is the beginning of hurricane wind speed; peels surface off roofs; mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned; moving autos pushed off the roads; attached garages may be destroyed.

2024年5月8日 · From weak to devastating tornadoes, a visual explanation of tornado damage on the Enhance Fujita Scale. Weaker tornadoes (EF0-EF1) produce damage but EF2-EF5 tornadoes are considered strong, and...

A tornado is only rated T0 if it passes over vulnerable objects, which are not damaged (leaving aside the more accurate methods of determining wind speeds in this instance). If a tornado is known to have occurred but details of damage or other rating information are not forthcoming, then the tornado is not given an intensity rating.

2021年8月17日 · A tornado is assigned a rating from 0 to 5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale to estimate its intensity in terms of damage and destruction caused along the twister’s path.
