On damage A rating of a tornado on the Fujita scale is determined by the severity of the damage the tornado does. It can only be determined after the storm has ended. For example, if a tornado appears in the middle of an open field that stretches for miles without civilization and dies before it can destroy anything, it is considered an F0. If a small tornado appears in a town and destroys well-built structures it would be a higher rank than a giant tornado in the middle of nowhere.

What is the scale that measures the severity of tornadoes?

The scale that measures the severity of tornadoes is called the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale). It ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest), and it categorizes tornadoes based on the damage they cause and the estimated wind speeds.
