Other than a Fujita scale what else can you measure a tornado with?

As of 2007 the United States has adopted the Enhanced Fujita scale, which is essentially an upgrade to the older one.
Some European countries use the TORRO scale, which ranges from T0 (equivalent to a low F0) to T11 (equivalent to an F5)

What tools are used to measure tornado damage?
the fujita scale now called the enhanced fujita scale rates tornadoes in intensity
Do tornado trackers have a scale to measure?
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.
Do scientists use the Fujita scale to measure hurricane intensity?
The Fujita scale is only for tornado intensity. Meteorologists use a different wind scale for hurricanes called the Saffir-Simpson scale.
What is the largest fajita scale for a tornado?
The strongest tornado in the Fujita scale is F5.
What is the highest Fujita rating for a tornado?
The highest rating a tornado can attain in the Fujita scale is F5.
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.
What does the scale measure on a tornado?
The Fujita and Enhanced Fujita scales assesses damage caused by a tornado to assign a rating.
What scale measure tornado strength?
The fujita scale. Ranging from F0-F5
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 tools are used to measure tornado damage?
the fujita scale now called the enhanced fujita scale rates tornadoes in intensity
How does the Fujita scale measure the storms weakness and strongness?
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.
Does the fujita scale measure hurricanes intensity?
No. Hurricanes are classified on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The Fujita scale is used to rate tornadoes.
The Fujita scale measures what four things?
The Fujita scale really measure only one thing: the intensity of a tornado based on damage severity.
What was the Fujita rating of the Greenberg Tornado?
The Greensburg tornado was an EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which is equivalent to an F5 on the original Fujita Scale.
Do tornado trackers have a scale to measure?
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.
Would you use a Richter scale to measure a tornado?
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.
Do scientists use the Fujita scale to measure hurricane intensity?
The Fujita scale is only for tornado intensity. Meteorologists use a different wind scale for hurricanes called the Saffir-Simpson scale.
