Tornadoes do have a scale by which they are rated. It is the Enhanced Fujita scale. However, trackers do not use it to rate the tornado as it occurs. Damage is assessed by experts after the tornado has passed.
The Fujita scale is only for tornado intensity. Meteorologists use a different wind scale for hurricanes called the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Tornado Activity is monitored by the National Weather Service.
Its called the enhanced fujita scale...it measures from an EF0 to an EF5 how fast the tornado was spinning. The wind speed is determined by examining damage.
The "E" in EF2 tornado stands for Enhanced Fujita Scale, a classification system used to measure tornado intensity based on the damage they cause. The EF scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest).
Tools such as the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, drones, satellite imagery, and ground surveys are commonly used to assess and measure tornado damage. These tools help experts determine the intensity and path of the tornado, which in turn helps with emergency response efforts and rebuilding plans.

The Fujita and Enhanced Fujita scales assesses damage caused by a tornado to assign a rating.
The most well, known scale is the Fujita scale, which runs from F0 to F5. In the U.s. it has been replaced by the Enhanced Fujita scale, which, similarly, runs from EF0 to EF5.
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.
The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage caused by a tornado to determine its strength. The more severe the damage is the stronger the tornado.
The Fujita scale, used to measure tornado intensity, has six levels. The scale ranges from F0 (weakest) to F5 (strongest), based on the damage caused by the tornado.
Tornado strength is typically measured using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). The rating is based on the tornado's estimated wind speed and resulting damage.
The Fujita Scale (replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale in 2007) is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on damage. It gets its name from its creator, Dr. Tetsuya Fujita.
No. The Richter scale (since replaced by the Moment Magnitude scale) was used to measure earthquake intensity. The Fujita scale (now the Enhanced Fujita scale in the U.S.) is used to rate tornadoes.
