The Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes based on their wind speed and the what?
The Fujita scale actually classifies tornadoes based on the amount of damage they do to buildings and plants. If a small tornado with extremely high winds and a small footprint takes out a farmhouse and a corn field, it's bad. But if a tornado that has winds not as high as that small one but has a footprint a quarter mile across sweeps through a town and shreds it, that's much worse. The former tornado will have a rating lower on the Fujita scale than the latter one will. Note that the damage assessment and the application of a Fujita scale rating will come after the tornado has passed.
