Tornado size is typically determined by the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which considers the tornado's estimated wind speeds and the damage caused. The EF scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest), with tornado size typically increasing with higher EF ratings. Additionally, meteorologists may also assess the tornado's width and the path length to get a comprehensive understanding of its size.
