EF0 is the weakest category on the Enhanced Fujita scale which runs from EF0 to EF5. It is a system of rating tornadoes that uses damage to estimate a tornado's wind speed and then assign a rating.
An EF0 tornado has estimated winds of 65-85 mph and causes relatively minor damage.
Typical EF0 damage includes removal of small amounts of roofing material, some shedding of aluminum or vinyl siding, down gutters and awnings, and broken tree limbs with some weak rooted trees uprooted.

Weakest catorgory of tornadoes?
The weakest category of tornado is EF0 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which runs from EF0 to EF5. EF0 wind estimates range from 65 to 85 mph. An EF0 tornado causes light damage.
Are tornadoes measured by the fujita scale?
Yes by scale Ef0 to Ef5
What is the scale on tornadoes?
Tornadoes are rated on the Enhance Fujita scale from EF0 to EF5 based on the severity of the damage they cause.
Where was the tornadoes at in Alabama in 2009?
Yes. There were 79 confirmed tornadoes in Alabama in 2009, most of them rated EF0 or EF1.
Has ever been tornadoes in Alaska?
Yes, between 1950 and 2009 there were four tornadoes in Alaska, all rated EF0.
How are most tornadoes classified as in the US?
Tornadoes in the U.S. are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale (or the original Fujita scale fore tornadoes Prior to February 2007), which runs from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest. Ratings are based on wind speed estimates derived from the severity of the damage done. About 60% of tornadoes are rated EF0.
Are 50 percent of tornadoes considered violent?
No, about 1% percent of tornadoes are rated as violent EF4 or EF5). About 75-80% of tornadoes are rated as weak (EF0 or EF1).
In the US most tornadoes are classified as intense?
No. Intense tornadoes (those rated EF3 or higher) only account for about 3% of tornadoes in the U.S. Most tornadoes are rated as weak, EF0 or EF1.
