There is no such thing as an A2 tornado. There are three scales of rating tornadoes: the Fujita (F) scale, the Enhaced Fujita (EF) scale, and the TORRO (T) scale. An F2 and EF2 tornado are essentially the same thing. A T2 tornado is less severe, equivalent to a low F1 or EF1 tornado.
In a tornado outbreak A2 may refer to a specific tornado. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms called supercells, which can produce multiple tornadoes in succession. The National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma sometimes labels its tornado-producing supercells alphabetically if an event produces multiple supercells and the tornadoes they produce with numbers. So in such an event, A2 would refer to the second tornado produced by the first supercell. Such a label says nothing about the severity of the tornado.

Is there such thing as A2 tornado?
Not in ratings. A tornado may be rated F2, EF2, or (in the UK) T2 but there is no scale with "A" ratings. However, in a tornado outbreak A2 may refer to a specific tornado. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms called supercells, which can produce multiple tornadoes in succession. The National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma sometimes labels its tornado-producing supercells alphabetically if an even produces multiple supercells and the tornadoes they produce with numbers. So in such an event, A2 would refer to the second tornado produced by the first supercell. Such a label says nothing about the severity of the tornado.
How do you factor A2 - F2?
(a + f)(a - f)
What can an f2 tornado do?

What was the scale on the tornado in Vaughn?
The Vaughn, Ontario tornado of 2009 was an F2.
What is the worst damage an F2 can do?
A high-end F2 tornado will remove the roof and can collapse some exterior walls in a well-built house, generally on the topmost floor. Weaker structures may be destroyed. Trailers will be completely demolished.
How big is an F2 tornado?
An F2 tornado does not have any particular size. That is not how the scale works; it rates tornadoes based on damage. An F2 tornado (EF2 as of February 2007) is a tornado that tears roofs from well-built homes, derails trains, and destroys trailers. Winds in an EF2 are estimated at 111 to 135 mph.
What is an F2 tornado?
F2 is a rating on the Fujita scale, which assess tornado intensity based on damage. The scale runs from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest. F2 indicates a strong tornado (most tornadoes are F0 or F1) that can tear the roof from a well-built house and lift cars off the ground.
How fast is the wind in an F2 tornado?
Estimated winds for an F2 tornado on the original Fujita scale are 113 to 157 mph. It was later found that this estimate was not quite right for the damage inflicted by an F2 tornado and so was refined to a range of 111 to 135 mph for an EF2 tornado.
What miles per hour is a F2 tornado?
Wind estimates for an F2 tornado on the original Fujita scale are 113-157 mph. This was later found to be inaccurate and was changed to 111-135 mph for an EF2 tornado.
Did Baltimore have a tornado before?
