The Enhanced Fujita scale is a system of rating tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they cause. Ratings range from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest. It is an upgraded (i.e. enhanced) version of the Fujita scale, a similar rating system created by Tetsuya Fujita in 1971.
What else can I help you with?
What numbers does the Enhanced Fujita scale range from?
The Enhanced Fujita scale ranges from EF0 to EF5.
How are the fujita and enhanced fujita scales the same?
Both scales assess the intensity of a tornado based on the severity of the damage it causes. The ratings on the Fuijta and Enhanced Fujita scale are equivalent. For example a tornado rated F2 on the Fujita scale would probably be rated EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale.
What is the EF stand for in an EF1 tornado?
EF means "Enhanced Fujita" referring to the scale that is used, called the Enhanced Fujita Scale.

What does the E mean in tornado classification?
The "E" in the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale) used for tornado classification stands for "Enhanced." This scale categorizes tornadoes based on estimated wind speeds and associated damage, providing a more accurate and detailed classification system compared to the original Fujita Scale.
Does the enhanced Fujita scale apply to hurricanes?
No, The Enhanced Fujita scale is used to rate tornadoes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
What was the Fujita rating of the Greenberg Tornado?
The Greensburg tornado was an EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which is equivalent to an F5 on the original Fujita Scale.

What does EF stand for in an EF2 tornado?
EF stands for Enhanced Fujita scale, which is used to classify tornado intensity based on the damage caused. EF2 on the scale indicates a tornado with estimated wind speeds of 111-135 mph that can cause considerable damage.
