What are the names of the scales used to measure the intensity of a tornado?

The intensity of tornadoes is measured on the Fujita-Pearson Tornado Intensity Scale, or "F-Scale". This scale was named after the men who developed it, Dr. Theodore Fujita, and Allan Pearson, head of the Forecast Center in Kansas City. It ranges from F0 for the weakest tornado to F5 for the strongest. In 2007 the National Weather Service in the U.S. upgraded to the Enhanced Fujita Scale, with the intention of providing more detailed and accurate ratings, which includes adjusted wind speed estimates. Overall, though, the damage done by each intensity category remains largely the same. Similar to the original scale, it ranges from EF0 to EF5. The U.K. utilizes the TORRO scale, which uses similar damage and wind ranges to the Fujita-Pearson scale, but has two levels for every one on the F-scale, ranging from T0 to T11.
