How do meteorologists measure tornadoes?

Tornadoes are measured using the Fujita Scale. This is done by looking at the damage the tornado has caused and estimating the wind speeds. A rating is then assigned, ranging from F0 for the weakest tornadoes to F5 for the strongest. In the United States the Fujita scale has been replaced by the Enhanced Fujita scale, which ranges from EF0 to EF5.On rare occasions Doppler radar can be used to obtain a wind measurement. In Even rare instances a probe using an anemometer may take direct measurements from inside the tornado.On rare occasions barometers and anemometers have taken measurements from tornadoes as well.However, the majority of tornadoes have their winds estimated based on damage rather than directly measured.
