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.

What happens to an animal if it gets caught in a tornado?

Unfortunately many animals do die in tornadoes, depending on the strength of the tornado.
