What classifies a tornado as f4?

The general damage indicator for an F4 tornado is well built houses completely leveled and left as piles of rubble. In the U.S. this has been replace by the EF4 category, which is on a somewhat less arbitrary scale. While the overall damage is essentially the same, more factors are taken into account such as quality of construction. On the new Enhanced Fujita scale an EF4 rating is given to a tornado with estimated peak winds in the range of 166 to 200 mph.


Does a gas have a definite mass?

A: I wonder this myself. Saturn is a massive gas giant. It has a huge gravitational pull. In fact, the gravitational pull is so powerful most of the rubble in its rings stays tiny because large pieces are smashed apart from the force of the gravity. Does gas have definite mass? If the core of this planet is super uranium, we may never know, but if its just gas all the way down.....I guess its plausible. A: Yes, a gas (in a definite volume, with a definite pressure, with a definite temperature) has a definite mass.


What is the fujitsu scale for tornado wind speed?

The Fujita scale does not directly rate tornadoes based on wind speed but rather on damage which is used to give a wind speed estimate. The scale, which was developed in 1971 by Tetsuya Fujita, runs from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest. In recent years scientists have come to believe that the original winds estimates for the Fujita scale were inaccurate, especially for the F4 and F5 levels. Those wind estimates have been changes on the Enhanced Fujita scale which was developed in 2007. Here are the categories for the Fujita (and Enhanced Fujita) scale with wind estimates and typical damage, but a tornado given a rating on one scale will still get the same rating on the other. F0 40-72mph (EF0 65-85mph) light damage: tree limbs broken, weak rooted trees uprooted, minor roof damage to most buildings. F1 72-112 mph (EF1 85-110mph) moderate damage: windows broken, house roofs sustain serious damage, trailers severely damaged. F2 113-157 mph (EF2 111-135mph) significant damage: roofs torn from strong frame houses, trailers completely destroyed, small vehicles lifted. F3 158-206 mph (EF3 135-165 mph) severe damage: many or most walls collapse in well-built houses, most trees in a forest uprooted. F4 207-260 mph (EF4 166-200 mph) devastating damage: strong frame homes completely collapse and reduced to rubble, trees debarked. F5: 261-318 mph (EF5 over 200 mph) incredible damage: strong frame homes completely swept away, foundations wiped clean.
