The levels on the Enhanced Fujita scale range from EF0 to EF5. Below is a list of the categories with its estimated wind range and typical damage.

  • EF0: 65-85 mph; broken tree limbs, some tree uprooted, houses loose gutters, awnings, and some roof surface.
  • EF1: 86-110 mph; broken windows in houses, roofs severely stripped of material, mobile homes badly damaged.
  • EF2: 111-135 mph; frame houses lose roofs but most walls remain intact, mobile homes completely destroyed.
  • EF3: 136-165 mph; walls of frame houses collapse, most trees uprooted, radio towers collapse.
  • EF4: 166-200 mph: frame homes leveled and left as piles of debris, bark stripped from trees.
  • EF5: over 200 mph: total devastation, well-built houses completely swept away, foundations wiped clean.
