The most commonly used ranking system for a tornado is the Enhanced Fujita Scale which ranks F0 to F5 based on the strength and intensity of the winds exhibited. The United States receives as many as 1,200 tornadoes each year with most ranked as F3 or weaker, and most are located in the rural areas where structural damage is nominal. An F5 can produce wind speeds as high as 300 miles per hour.

It is common belief that more tornadoes happen in the UK than in the US (tornado ally included) - Although US tornadoes are way bigger and stronger than those in the UK and so more are likely to be noticed and therefore recorded.
