Tornadoes are rated on the Fujita scale, which goes from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest (more recently on the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF0 to EF5) based on the severity of the damage they cause.

What is a tornado on the Richter scale?
That is impossible as the Richter scale is for measuring earthquakes.
Does the Fujita scale measure the intensity of a tornado?
Yes. The Fujita scale uses the damage a tornado does to determine its intensity and assign a rating on a scale ranging from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest.
What is the tornado intensity scale based upon?
Damage severity
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.
How is the power of a tornado determined?
The intensity of a tornado is determined by damage. Damage is examined and the tornado's peak wind speed is estimated. This is used to rate it on the Enhanced Fujita Scale which ranges from EF0 as the weakest to EF5 as the strongest.

Does the Fujita scale measure the intensity of a tornado?
Yes. The Fujita scale uses the damage a tornado does to determine its intensity and assign a rating on a scale ranging from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest.
A commonly used guide for tornado intensity is called?
Fujita intensity scale
Which scale describes the intensity of tornado?
fujita scale now called enhanced fujita scale
What is the tornado intensity scale based upon?
Damage severity
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.
Who is the author of the tornado intensity and damage?
If you are referring to the Fujita scale, which rates tornado intensity base on damage, its inventor is Dr. Tetsuya Fujita.
What does the fujita scale use to rate tornado intensity?
The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage a tornado causes to determine its rating.
What scale do you use to describe the intensity of a tornado?
the fujita scale now called enhanced fujita scale
Which weather rating scale measures the intensity of a tornado based on the damage it causes?
fujita scale
What happens when a tornado hits?
Damage is done to varying degrees depending on the intensity of the tornado on the Fujita scale.
How is the intensity measured in a tornado?
The intensity of a tornado is determined by damage, which is used to estimate wind speed. There are three major scale for rating tornadoes by this method: The Fujita Scale (F0-F5), the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF0-EF5), and the TORRO Scale (T0-T11).
