Where do EF3 tornadoes form?

It you want to get very technical, they occur in the U.S. and Canada, as these are the only two countries that use the Enhanced Fujita scale. However, if you consider tornadoes of equivalent intensity (F3 on the Fujita scale, T6 and T7 on the TORRO scale), they can occur in most areas that have a temperate to tropical climate that is not arid. In the U.S. all but six of the states have had at least one F3 or EF3 tornado since 1950. Many countries have tornadoes that go unrated that are almost certainly of EF3 intensity, if not higher. The majority of EF3 and stronger tornadoes occur in the U.S.


In the US most tornadoes are classified as intense?

No. Intense tornadoes (those rated EF3 or higher) only account for about 3% of tornadoes in the U.S. Most tornadoes are rated as weak, EF0 or EF1.


Which tornados occur most often weak strong or violent?

Tornadoes are sometimes divided into "weak" tornadoes "strong" and "violent" tornadoes. Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 and EF1. Most tornadoes are weak. Strong tornadoes are those rated EF2 and EF3. Violent tornadoes are those rated EF4 and EF5. They are the rarest of tornadoes, only about 1% of tornadoes are this strong.

Are big tornadoes more destructive than compared to small tornadoes?

Usually, but not always. Large tornadoes are usually more intense than strong ones. Many EF3 and stronger tornadoes are a quarter mile wide or more, but it is unusual to see EF0 and EF1 tornadoes that large. Regardless of strength a large tornado is likely to cause more damage simply because it covers a larger area.
