Below are the different levels of tornado intensity on the Ehanced Fujita scale along with typical damage with typical damage and the estimated range of wind speeds.

EF0 65-85 mph, light damage: minor roof damage to most buildings, awnings and gutters taken down, tree limbs broken, weak rooted trees toppled.

EF1 86-110 mph, moderate damage: roofs of houses severely stripped, windows broken, trailers severely damaged or largely destroyed.

EF2 111-135 mph, significant damage: frame houses lose all or most of roofs some exterior walls may collapse, trailers completely destroyed.

EF3 136-165 mph, severe damage: many or most walls in a frame house collapse, most trees uprooted.

EF4 166-200 mph, devastating damage: strong frame houses completely leveled, trees stripped of bark.

EF5 over 200 mph, incredible damage: strong frame houses completely swept away, foundations left bare, concrete structures heavily damaged.

How is the f scale of any given tornado given?

The rating on the Fujita or F scale of a tornado is determined by the severity of the damage it causes. Different levels of tornado have different levels of damage severity, ranging from the minor damage of an F0 tornado the the total destruction of an F5.

If you mean a rating on the Fujita scale, yes. While the scale did not exist in 1925 when the tornado occurred, it was retrospectively rated F5.

What types of warnings can be issued for a tornado?

There are several levels of advisory involving tornadoes, but only two are actual warnings. Here they are in order of increasing severity:Convective outlook mentioning a risk of tornadoes. (can be issued several days in advanceSevere weather outlook mentioning tornadoes. (tornadoes may be possible)Tornado Watch. (Conditions are favorable for the formation of tornadoes)PDS Tornado Watch. (Particularly Dangerous Situation, strong tornadoes are likely)Tornado Warning. (A tornado has been spotted or one may form soon)Tornado Emergency. (A large, strong tornado is threatening a populated area)Note that a PDS tornado watch is a variant of tornado watch, and a tornado emergency is a variant of tornado warning.


Do tornadoes have different levels?

Yes. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which determines the intensity of a tornado based on the severity of damage they cause. There are six levels ranging from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest.


Why do you use Fujita scale for tornadoes?

The Fujita scale is used to determine how strong a tornado is. It is widely used for two reasons: it was the first scale to assess tornado intensity, and it breaks damage down into six easily recognizable levels.
