Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which replaced the Fujita scale in 2007.
It isn't. The Fujita scale is the traditional tornado rating system, and it was the first to be developed.
The Greensburg tornado was an EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which is equivalent to an F5 on the original Fujita Scale.
The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage a tornado causes to determine its rating.

The F-scale or Fujita scale was developed by Dr. Tetsuya Theodore Fujita as the University of Chicago in 1971. The highest rating on the scale is F5.
The Fujita and Enhanced Fujita scales assesses damage caused by a tornado to assign a rating.
If you mean a rating on the Fujita scale, yes. While the scale did not exist in 1925 when the tornado occurred, it was retrospectively rated F5.
The most common Fujita scale rating is F0 (EF0 on the Enhanced Fujita scale).
The highest rating for a tornado is EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale or F5 in the original Fujita Scale. Winds in these tornadoes can exceed 300 mph.
No, but it is given a rating based on the EF scale which ranges from EF0-EF5. EF0- Weakest tornado. EF5- Most violent tornado.
The correct spelling of the term is "Fujita scale" (tornado rating scale named for scientist Tetsuya Fujita).
The is no Fajita scale. The Fujita scale provides basic standards by which to assess the damage done by a tornado. Based on the severity of the damage a tornado is assigned a rating, which can range from F0 for the weakest tornadoes to F5 for the strongest.
