In most cases the intensity of a tornado is never actually measured. Tornadoes are rated based on the severity of the damage they cause. Mobile Doppler radar can measure wind speeds in a tornado, but since such radar cannot measure ground-level winds the measurements are not used in ratings.

What scale is use to measure the strength of a tornado and how did it gets its name?
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.
