The original scale for rating tornadoes is officially the Fujita-Pearson scale, though the Pearson numbers were rarely used. The scale is normally referred to simply as the Fujita scale. In 2007 the United States stopped using this scale in favor of the Enhanced Fujita scale.
The Fujita Scale (replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale in 2007) is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on damage. It gets its name from its creator, Dr. Tetsuya Fujita.
The most well, known scale is the Fujita scale, which runs from F0 to F5. In the U.s. it has been replaced by the Enhanced Fujita scale, which, similarly, runs from EF0 to EF5.
No, EF is for Enhanced Fujita scale and F is for Fujita scale. The new scale, implemented in 2007 is more accurate, but ratings are essentially equivalent. Most tornadoes would receive the same rating on either scale.
The tornado intensity scale is based on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale), which measures a tornado's intensity based on the damage it causes to structures and vegetation. The scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest) based on the estimated wind speeds required to cause the observed damage.
Tornadoes are measured on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale), not the Richter scale. The EF Scale classifies tornadoes based on the damage they cause, ranging from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (most intense), considering factors like wind speed and destruction to estimate the tornado's strength.
Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which replaced the Fujita scale in 2007.
Tornado damage has traditionally been rated on the Fujita scale. However, the United States and Canada now rate tornado damage on the similar Enhanced Fujita scale.

The Waco tornado was an F5.

Its called the enhanced fujita scale...it measures from an EF0 to an EF5 how fast the tornado was spinning. The wind speed is determined by examining damage.
No. Although some people refer to tornadoes as cyclones this is incorrect. A cyclone is a large scale low pressure system A tornado is a small scale circulation spawned from a thunderstorm. However, there is one type of tornado known as a landspout.
The tornado scale, known as the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale), was developed by a team led by Dr. T. Theodore Fujita in collaboration with Allen Pearson. It was an update to the original Fujita Scale of tornado intensity.
The Vaughn, Ontario tornado of 2009 was an F2.
Tornadoes are not given official names. They are sometimes given informal names for where they hit.
The Henryville, Indiana tornado of March 2, 2012 was an EF4 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which is equivalent to an F4 on the original scale.
