The Enhanced Fujita scale (EF0 to EF5) is used to rate tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they cause.
There is no tool used to measure damage. Rather, engineers and meteorologists look at what kind of damage occurred to what structures. Guidelines for what to look for are detailed on the Enhanced Fujita scale.

The Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale) classifies tornadoes based on their intensity and duration. It ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest), with duration estimates typically based on damage assessments and eyewitness reports. Duration can vary widely depending on the tornado's strength and path.
Usually scientists do not use any tool to determine how strong a tornado is. Usually the strength of a tornado is determined based on the severity of damage it causes. Occasionally wind speed measurements are obtained using Doppler radar, but such measurements are rare.
Seismologists and researchers primarily use the Richter scale to measure the magnitude of earthquakes. Emergency response teams and disaster management agencies also rely on this scale to assess the impact of earthquakes and coordinate relief efforts.
Scales used to measure weight include: * Spring scale - measures the increased length of a spring as it stretches * Balance scale - uses a horizontal lever to compare unknown weights to that of known weights
The weakest category of tornado is EF0 on the enhanced Fujita scale. The weakest of the two actual varieties of tornado are type 2 tornadoes, those that don't form in supercells (landspouts and most waterspouts). These rarelly exceed Ef0 intensity.
No, a cyclone is a large-scale weather system that rotates around a low-pressure center, typically bringing strong winds and heavy rain. A tornado, on the other hand, is a small-scale, rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground.
There is no specific type or rating for a tornado of a given size, though a mile wide tornado is likely to be very strong. The general term for a very large tornado (though not necessarily a mile wide), is "wedge."
