The Fujita scale is the most famous and most widely used scale for rating tornadoes. It rates tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on severity of damage. It has been replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF0 to EF5) in the U.S.

Would you use a Richter scale to measure a tornado?
No. The Richter scale (since replaced by the Moment Magnitude scale) was used to measure earthquake intensity. The Fujita scale (now the Enhanced Fujita scale in the U.S.) is used to rate tornadoes.
What scale measure tornado strength?
The fujita scale. Ranging from F0-F5
How is a tornado's strength measured?
by scale called the fujita scale or (enhanced fujita scale) to measure intensity or strength of a tornado based on the severity of damage.
Does the Fujita scale measure the intensity of a tornado?
Yes. The Fujita scale uses the damage a tornado does to determine its intensity and assign a rating on a scale ranging from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest.
What scale would you measure the damage of a tornado?
The Enhanced Fujita scale, which goes from EF0 to EF5 rates the strength of tornadoes based on damage.
Do tornado trackers have a scale to measure?
Tornadoes do have a scale by which they are rated. It is the Enhanced Fujita scale. However, trackers do not use it to rate the tornado as it occurs. Damage is assessed by experts after the tornado has passed.
What can you use to measure the damage of a tornado?
Scientists use damage to rated tornadoes on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale.
Do scientists use the Fujita scale to measure hurricane intensity?
The Fujita scale is only for tornado intensity. Meteorologists use a different wind scale for hurricanes called the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Is there a scale that is used to measure the magnitude of a tornado?
yes
What scale measure tornado strength?
The fujita scale. Ranging from F0-F5
Would you use a Richter scale to measure a tornado?

How is a tornado's strength measured?
by scale called the fujita scale or (enhanced fujita scale) to measure intensity or strength of a tornado based on the severity of damage.
What kind of scale do people use to measure a tornado?
The Enhanced Fujita scale (EF0 to EF5) is used to rate tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they cause.
Does the Fujita scale measure the intensity of a tornado?
Yes. The Fujita scale uses the damage a tornado does to determine its intensity and assign a rating on a scale ranging from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest.
What does the scale measure on a tornado?
The Fujita and Enhanced Fujita scales assesses damage caused by a tornado to assign a rating.
What is a scale and how is it used?
A scale is used to measure things...I see you've tagged "tornadoes" so you may be referring to the Fugita Scale--which is used to measure the damage caused by a tornado.
How does the Fujita scale measure the storms weakness and strongness?
The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage caused by a tornado to determine its strength. The more severe the damage is the stronger the tornado.
