Yes. The intensity of a tornado is estimated on the Enhanced Fujita scale. On this scale, engineers and meteorologists analyze damage and estimate the wind speed. The highest wind speed estimate is then used to assign a rating, ranging from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest.

Is it impossible to measure the strength of a tornado?

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.
