There are actually six levels of tornado intensity. The EF0 (formerly F0) category is often forgotten. Tornadoes in the U.S. are rated on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which relplaced the Fujita (F) scale in 2007. While there have been adjustments to the wind speed estimates, ratings are essentially equivalent.
EF0 (65-85 mph): Shingles, siding, and gutters peeled from structures. Tree limbs broken with some trees toppled. Fences are blown down and some very weak structures may be destroyed.
EF1 (86-110mph): Roofs of houses severely damaged with some poorly secured roofs removed. Trailers homes are overturned or badly damaged. Barns and garages may collapse.
EF2 (111-135 mph): Roofs are torn from well-built houses but most walls remain standing. Trailer homes and sturdy barns are completely destroyed. Some cars are tossed short distances.
EF3 (136-165 mph): Roofs and walls torn from well-built houses. Sometimes only a few interior walls remain. Many weaker structures are destroyed or blown away.
EF4 (166-200 mph): Well constructed houses are leveled and left as piles of rubble. Weaker homes may be blown away. Trees may be debarked. Asphalt may be peeled from roads.
EF5 (over 200 mph): Well contructed houses are completely swept away, leaving empty foundations. Reinforced concrete structures are destroyed. Severe ground scouring may occur.
