F0 damage is typically referred to as "light damage". An F0 tornad will break tree limbs and uproot some shallow-rooted trees. Most buildings will loose small amounts of their roof coverings, gutters, awnings, and aluminum or vinyl siding can be taken down. Some trailers may be overturned.
F1 damage is typically referred to as "moderate damage." An F1 tornado can severely strip the surface of a house roof. Garage doors may be blown inwards, or entire garages or porches may collapse. Trailers can be very madly damage or even mostly destroyed.

Why are most tornadoes f0-f1?
The stronger a tornado the more energy it takes and most storms do not have the energy to produce a tornado stronger than F1 or are not organized enough to focus that energy into a tornado. Additionally, tornado ratings are based on damage and some tornadoes stay in open fields, causing no damage. Such tornadoes are rated F0.
Is an F0 tornado same as a gustnado?
No. An F0 tornado is simple a weak tornado, or one that does little to no damage. A gustnado is a vortex that resembles a tornado that forms in the outflow boundary of a severe thunderstorm. Gustnadoes can occasionally cause damage comparable to an F0 or F1 tornado, but they are not considered tornadoes.
Which is bigger an F5 tornado or a F1 tornado?
In most cases an F5 tornado will be larger than an F1. However, tornado ratings are a measure of the strength of a tornado, not its size. F5 is the strongest category, and such tornadoes are usually very large, but a few have been fairly small. Conversely, F1 is the second lowest rating (F0 is the lowest) and such tornadoes are generally small, but some have been huge.
Do F0 tornadoes kill you?
It is very rare for F0 tornadoes to kill. They account for only 20 of the more than 5000 tornado fatalities since 1950.
What is an F2 tornado?
F2 is a rating on the Fujita scale, which assess tornado intensity based on damage. The scale runs from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest. F2 indicates a strong tornado (most tornadoes are F0 or F1) that can tear the roof from a well-built house and lift cars off the ground.

Why are most tornadoes f0-f1?
The stronger a tornado the more energy it takes and most storms do not have the energy to produce a tornado stronger than F1 or are not organized enough to focus that energy into a tornado. Additionally, tornado ratings are based on damage and some tornadoes stay in open fields, causing no damage. Such tornadoes are rated F0.
What appears to be the relationship between a tornadoes width and it's intensity on the Fujita scale?
There is a general trend that tornadoes with a higher rating tend to be larger to the point that F0 and F1 tornadoes are generally fairly small while F4 and F5 tornadoes are usually very large. However, this is not always the case. Some F4 and F5 tornadoes have been fairly small, and several enormous tornadoes have gotten F0 and F1 ratings.
How many tornadoes where there in 1974?
There were 945 tornadoes confirmed in the U.S. in 1974. However, the actual number of tornadoes was porbably much higher as back then we still missed many of the F0 and F1 tornadoes.
