How do you tell if a tornado is strong?

If you can see the tornado, strong tornadoes tend to be relatively wide, though not always. Additionally you can see the rotation in a tornado. If it is rotating very rapidly then it is probably strong. However, rotation that appears slower does not necessarily mean a weak tornado. Winds nearer the center or in subvortices hidden within the funnel may still be in the range of a strong to violent tornado.

How does a meteorologist know how a mild tornado or a strong tornado?

Meteorologists and engineers examine the damage done by a tornado a rate if from EF0 to EF5 based on how severe the damage is. EF0 and EF1 (light to moderate damage) tornadoes are considered weak. EF2 and EF3 tornadoes are classified as strong. EF4 and EF5 tornadoes are classified as violent.


Can a tornado produce into another tornado?
