Tornadoes damage in the United States on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which goes from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest. Prior to that, U.S. tornadoes were rated on the Fujita scale, which similarly ranges from F0 to F5. Some countries, such as Canada, still use the original Fujita scale.
Some European countries rate tornado damage on the TORRO scale, which ranges from T0 to T11, where the categories T10 and T11 corresponding to an F5 or EF5 tornado.

What scale would you measure the damage of a tornado?
The Enhanced Fujita scale, which goes from EF0 to EF5 rates the strength of tornadoes based on damage.
How is a tornado's strength measured?
by scale called the fujita scale or (enhanced fujita scale) to measure intensity or strength of a tornado based on the severity of damage.
Does the Fujita scale measure the intensity of a tornado?
Yes. The Fujita scale uses the damage a tornado does to determine its intensity and assign a rating on a scale ranging from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest.
What are the impacts of a tornado?
Tornados cause mass damage. Causing homelessness, injury, and death.
What property of a tornado is measured by the fujita scale?
The severity of the damage. It is a common misconception that it measure wind speed, but in truth, wind speed estimated based on the damage.
What is a severe tornados?
Bases on the damage descriptions of the Fujita scale as severe tornado is one that is rated F3.
How are tornados classfied?
Tornadoes are classified on the Fujita scale from F0 to F5 (or, more recently, the Enhanced Fujita scale from EF0 to EF5) based on the severity of damage they cause.
How does the marcalli scale measure?
It is a scale that rates how much damage is cause in particular place. IT is measure on a scale of 1-12, 12 being the worst.
What is the name of the scale used to rank hurricane and measure their damage potential?
The Saffir-Simpson scale.
What scale would you measure the damage of a tornado?
The Enhanced Fujita scale, which goes from EF0 to EF5 rates the strength of tornadoes based on damage.
Does The Richter Scale measure the damage caused by a given earthquake?
False!
What is a scale and how is it used?
A scale is used to measure things...I see you've tagged "tornadoes" so you may be referring to the Fugita Scale--which is used to measure the damage caused by a tornado.
What are the functions of a mercalli scale?
it is used to measure the damage caused by an earthquake as oppose to energy released in the Richter scale
What can you use to measure the damage of a tornado?
Scientists use damage to rated tornadoes on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale.
What scale can you measure a hurricane damage?
There is no scale specifically for measuring hurricane damage. The Saffir-Simpson scale measure hurricanes based on wind speed, which can be used to estimate what damage may occur. The damage scale that does exist, the Fujita scale (in the U.S. replaced with the Enhanced Fujita scale) is used exclusively to rate tornadoes, not hurricanes.
What is the name of the scale used to rank hurricanes and measure their damage potential A Fahrenheit scale B saffri-Simpson or C beaufort scale?
The Saffir-Simpson scale
How is a tornado's strength measured?
by scale called the fujita scale or (enhanced fujita scale) to measure intensity or strength of a tornado based on the severity of damage.
