An F2 tornado (the F standing for Fujita) is a relatively strong tornado with estimated winds of 113-157 mph (182-253 km/h). It is the third category on the Fujita scale, which rates tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on the severity of the damage they cause. A typical F2 tornado will tear the roofs from most houses, completely demolish mobile homes, and lift small cars off the ground.
An F2 on the Fujita scale is equivalent to a T4 or T5 on the TORRO scale.
In the United States the F2 category has been replaced by EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale with estimated winds of 111-135 mph (179-217 km/h). Scientists believe this wind estimated to be more accurate.

Is a tornado a force?
A tornado is often described as a "force of nature" but in physics it is not a distinct force. Several forces are in operation in and around a tornado.
Where does the force from a tornado come from?
The power of a tornado comes from the thunderstorm that produces it. A thunderstorm is powered by the energy that water vapor releases when it condenses. Differences in wind speed and direction wind altitude, a condition called wind shear, sets these storms rotating. This rotation can then tighten and intensify to form a tornado.
How can you put destructive force in a sentence?
I saw a Destructive force happen in Dallas.
What type of motion does a tornado causes a tornado?
It's caused by wind going in circular motion.
What is a result of a tornado in the bottle?
A tornado in a bottle is created to demonstrate the vortex motion of a tornado. It helps visualize the swirling motion and updrafts associated with tornadoes, without the destructive force or dangers of a real tornado.
Is a tornado a force?
A tornado is often described as a "force of nature" but in physics it is not a distinct force. Several forces are in operation in and around a tornado.
Have you ever witnessed the destructive force of a cow tornado"?
No, I have never witnessed the destructive force of a cow tornado.
What kind of force that the tornado have like centripetal force centrifugal force?
Hi, Well the force is centripetal force during a body is initially attacked by the tornado,when the body started swinging in the tornado from the surface of the earth,the time when body covers some distance from downward to upward is the time when centrifugal force is applied.... That means tornado have both the centripetal force and centrifugal force..... Thanks you!
Where does the force of a tornado comes from?
gay
What kind of force does a tornado have which keeps it to have that funnel shaped wind?
The wind in a tornado moves in a circular fashion as it is pulled inward by the pressure gradient force resulting from the low pressure at the center of the tornado.
Is there any force in a tornado?
Yes. The winds of a tornado carry an enormous amount of force. That is why they are so destructive. The winds themselves are driven by a pressure gradient.
Where did the McConnel Air Force Base tornado form?
If you mean the tornado that struck McConnel Air Force bas on April 26, 1991, that tornado first form south of the town of Clearwater, Kansas and moved northeast to the Air Force base. After striking the base the tornado continued traveling northeast, intensifying as it did so, eventually moving through Andover at peak intensity as an F5 tornado.
What year was the first tornado accurately predicted before it struck?
The first tornado accurately predicted before it struck was in 1948. The tornado was forecasted by Air Force Capt. Robert C. Miller near Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma.
Sentence containing word 'destructive'?
A tornado is a destructive force of nature.
What are the release dates for Full Force Nature - 2006 Elk City OK Tornado?
Full Force Nature - 2006 Elk City OK Tornado was released on: USA: 17 February 2008
What forces affect the motions of tornadoes?
The primary force at work in a tornado is a pressure gradient force. Pressure inside a tornado is lower than it is outside, which causes the path of any air near it to curve toward the center of the tornado. Slight variations in that pressure can affect how a tornado behaves, which is part of what makes tornadoes so hard to predict.
Who would win in a fight a tornado or a hurricane?
There is no conflict between a hurricane and a tornado. In fact, hurricanes often produce tornadoes. However, if you were to somehow pitch the force of a hurricane against the force of a tornado, the hurricane would "win" without being significantly affected. Although a tornado can have faster winds than a hurricane, hurricanes are much larger and have several orders of magnitude more energy than a tornado.
