No, it is possible to measure the strength of a tornado, though direct measurements are rare. Most tornadoes have their strength estimated based on the severity of the damage they cause. Occasionally, though mobile Doppler can obtain wind measurements from a tornado. One tornado on May 24, 2011 was rated EF5 after such a radar indicated winds in excess of 210 mph.

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 scale measure tornado strength?
The fujita scale. Ranging from F0-F5
What should a barometer measure when there is a tornado?
If a tornado passes near or over a barometer, it will measure a very rapid drop in pressure. How much the pressure drops depends on the strength of the tornado and how close the center of it comes tot he barometer.
What is used to measure the strength of tornadoes?
The strength of s tornado is measured on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which uses the severity of the damage a tornado causes to assign an intensity rating, ranging from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for 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.

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.
Is f1 the biggest tornado?
No. For one thing, Fujita (F) scale ratings measure the strength of a tornado, not its size. F1 is the second weakest rating a tornado can get (F0 is the weakest). Weak tornadoes such as this are generally small, but occasionally can be large. The highest rating a tornado can get is F5.
What is The scale for measuring the strength of a tornado is called?
The Enhanced Fujita Scale rates the strength of a Tornado by the damage it has caused!
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.
What is the of a temperature tornados?
No one really knows because with winds at 200+ mph, it's hard to measure anything.
When will there be a tornado in cinncinati?
It is impossible to tell when the next tornado will be for any location.
Where will the next tornado happen?
It is impossible to predict where the next tornado will occur.
How fast were the winds of the Flint-Beecher tornado?
It is impossible to know exactly how fast the winds were as we did not have the tools to measure a tornado's winds back then. But since the tornado was rated F5 (equivalent to EF5 on the new scale) winds were probably well over 200 mph.
