Hurricanes and tornadoes are rated on different scales. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale from category 1 to category 5. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale (formerly the Fujita scale) from EF0 to EF5.

What is the name of all tornadoes?
Hurricanes get named, Tornadoes do not. Tornadoes get a classification rating from F0 to F5* depending on the damage they produce (an indicator of wind intensity). Some are identified by occurrence ("the Kansas City tornado of 1986"), but they are not given a specific name. In the US, the "Enhanced Fujita Scale" is used, with ratings from EF0 to EF5. Additionally, there have been tens of thousands of tornadoes recorded; it would be impossible to list them all here.
