By looking at the amount of damage caused to different types of structures, scientists assign the storm an Enhanced Fujita scale classification. From the amount of damage they see, they then try to reverse engineer the storm’s wind speeds. As it tracks along the ground, a tornado’s power can change.
What does the Enhanced Fujita Scale do?
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.
What is the Enhanced Fujita tornado Scale and what do the numbers mean?
The scale has the same basic design as the original Fujita scale—six intensity categories from zero to five, representing increasing degrees of damage. … It was revised to reflect better examinations of tornado damage surveys, in order to align wind speeds more closely with associated storm damage.
