F0 damage is typically referred to as "light damage". An F0 tornad will break tree limbs and uproot some shallow-rooted trees. Most buildings will loose small amounts of their roof coverings, gutters, awnings, and aluminum or vinyl siding can be taken down. Some trailers may be overturned.
F1 damage is typically referred to as "moderate damage." An F1 tornado can severely strip the surface of a house roof. Garage doors may be blown inwards, or entire garages or porches may collapse. Trailers can be very madly damage or even mostly destroyed.
