It was a tornado. That's the only thing the Fujita scale is used to rate.
The Henryville, Indiana tornado of March 2, 2012 was an EF4 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which is equivalent to an F4 on the original scale.
There are three scale that can be used. The Fujita Scale (F0 to F5) which was used rotate tornadoes in the United States until 2007 and still is used in other countries such as Canada. The Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF0 to EF5) which uses essentially the same categories as the Fujita scale, only the wind estimates are adjusted and damage analysis is more detailed. It is used primarily in the United States. The TORRO scale (T0 to T11) uses similar damage and wind estimates to the Fujita scale, but has 2 categories for every 1 on the Fujita Scale. It is primarily used in Britain.
The strongest tornadoes can produce winds to over 300 mph (480 km/h).Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale based on the severity of the damage they inflict.
Meteorologists use a scale for tornadoes called The Fujita Scale. The Fujita Scale was made by Dr. Ted Fujita. It's the strength of the tornado measured from the damage. The scale goes like this: EF-0: Winds: 65-85mph EF-1: Winds: 85-110mph EF-2: Winds: 111-135mph EF-3: Winds: 136-165mph EF-4: Winds: 166-200mph EF-5: Winds: >200mph EF stands for Enhanced Fujita and the numbers are just categories for the tornadoes (0-5)
crysis 2 is not out yet but it will be rated m for mature due tot he violence and esrbs rating scale
Original Fujita scale developed in 1951. Recategorized in 2007, as follows: Enhanced Fujita Scale: EF-065-85mph EF-1 86-110mph EF-2 111-135mph EF-3 136-165mph EF-4 166-200 EF-5 >200 mph
I found the following information, The Fujita Scale The Fujita Scale is a well known scale that uses damage caused by a tornado and relates the damage to the fastest 1/4-mile wind at the height of a damaged structure. Fujita's scale was designed to connect smoothly the Beaufort Scale (B) with the speed of sound atmospheric scale, or Mach speed (M). Fujita explains explicitly that "F-scale winds are estimated from structural and/or tree damage, the estimated wind speed applies to the height of the apparent damage above the ground."

An F2 tornado (the F standing for Fujita) is a relatively strong tornado with estimated winds of 113-157 mph (182-253 km/h). It is the third category on the Fujita scale, which rates tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on the severity of the damage they cause. A typical F2 tornado will tear the roofs from most houses, completely demolish mobile homes, and lift small cars off the ground. An F2 on the Fujita scale is equivalent to a T4 or T5 on the TORRO scale. In the United States the F2 category has been replaced by EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale with estimated winds of 111-135 mph (179-217 km/h). Scientists believe this wind estimated to be more accurate.
They are classified on the Fujita-Pearson scale. They are F-0, F-1, F-2, F-3, F-4, and F-5. The higher the number, the greater the damage.

Here is the Fujita (F) Scale:F-0 40-72 mph, Light damage, chimney damage, tree branches brokenF-1 73-112 mph, Moderate damage, mobile homes pushed off foundation or flipped overF-2 113-157 mph, Considerable damage, mobile homes demolished, trees uprootedF-3 158-205 mph, Severe damage, roofs and walls torn down, trains overturned, cars thrown aroundF-4 207-260 mph, Devastating damage, well-constructed walls leveledF-5 261-318 mph, Violent damage, homes lifted off foundation and carried considerable distances, autos thrown as far as 100 meters.
