Its called the enhanced fujita scale...it measures from an EF0 to an EF5 how fast the tornado was spinning.

The wind speed is determined by examining damage.

How do they find out how bad a tornado is going to be?

In most cases, they don't know. The intensity of a tornado is assessed after it has gone through. That said, a tornado the has a strong velocity signature on radar, there is a good chance that it is a strong one capable of causing major damage. If there is a debris signature, it often means significant damage is occurring. This being considered, can only lead to an educated guess of how bad a tornado might end up being.


Was the Richter scale made on purpose?

yes the Richter scale was made on purpose it was made because Charles Richter needed a way to find out how strong or weak a earthquake is at the time in which that is what it did.


How do you find out the strength of a tornado?

The strength of a tornado is determined by the damage it does to man-made structures and vegetation. When a structure takes damage from a tornado, the degree of damage, the type of structure, and its quality of construction are used to estimate the strength of the winds that caused that damage. This is then used to sort the tornado into one of six intensity categories of the Enhanced Fujita Scale, ranging from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest.

Well, it has a strong, not very permeable membrane. This is so the sperm cell find it harder to penetrate and only one (usually) can enter.


Is it safe to be in your car in the garage during a tornado?

No. It doesn't take a very strong tornado to pick up or flip a car. If you are in a car and a tornado is coming you should go to the nearest sturdy building or underground shelter. If no shelter is nearby get out of the car and lie in a ditch or depression.

If a tornado comes what should you do?

I would assume that when the tornado hits you are going to be in your car as per the category this was posted under. If you are in your car during a tornado, you should find a ditch and lay in in on your stomach away from your car. If you cannot find a ditch it is suggested to get out of your car and lay under the vehichle in such a manner that if the car would roll either direction the car would not roll on top of you and the car would protect you from debris that is carried by the strong winds.
