The Fujita scale uses the damage done by tornadoes to estimate their intensity.
the Fujita scale (not the fajita scale) is used to tell how powerful a tornado is.
It was a tornado. That's the only thing the Fujita scale is used to rate.
The Fujita Scale (replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale in 2007) is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on damage. It gets its name from its creator, Dr. Tetsuya Fujita.
Ted Fujita discovered the Fujita Scale to determine how much strength a tornado has based on the damage it produces.
The Greensburg tornado was an EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which is equivalent to an F5 on the original Fujita Scale.
Tornado damage has traditionally been rated on the Fujita scale. However, the United States and Canada now rate tornado damage on the similar Enhanced Fujita scale.
Development of the Fujita Scale began in 1970 and the scale was published in 1971. It was used in the United States until 2007, when it was replaced with the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
The Fujita scale, used to measure tornado intensity, has six levels. The scale ranges from F0 (weakest) to F5 (strongest), based on the damage caused by the tornado.
The tornado scale, known as the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale), was developed by a team led by Dr. T. Theodore Fujita in collaboration with Allen Pearson. It was an update to the original Fujita Scale of tornado intensity.
EF on the tornado scale stands for Enhanced Fujita scale. It is used to classify tornado intensity based on the damage caused by the tornado, ranging from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). The EF scale takes into account the strength of the wind and the type of damage observed.
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.
EF means "Enhanced Fujita" referring to the scale that is used, called the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
