How Meteorologists Assess Tornado Damage Using the EF Scale
Join Meteorologist Casey Dorn as he explains how the Enhanced Fujita (EF) Scale helps assess tornado intensity based on damage. Learn about the wind speeds needed to cause destruction and why having a severe weather plan is essential, especially in tornado-prone areas.

Examples of different level tornadoes of the Enhanced Fujita Scale that I have documented. The Enhanced Fujita Scale provides an estimated range of tornadic wind speeds based on damage left behind. The scale rates tornado intensity from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest) based on damage severity and estimated wind speeds. It replaced the original Fujita scale in the US in 2007 to better align wind speeds with storm damage. The EF scale considers more variables, including 28 damage indicators (DIs)

Приор Лейк - Вадена это торнадо в штате Кейсота прошедший 10 мая 2029 года, унесший жизни 45 человек и нанесший очень сильный ущерб 5 городам. Официально этому торнадо присвоила 4 категория по шкале фудзиты, однако многие не согласны с мнение национальной метеорологической службы и говорят что это торнадо заслуживает 5 категорию по шкале фудзиты.

NWS Norman found at least EF2 damage south of Duke. This is preliminary. Remember, the Enhanced Fujita Scale is a damage scale - a tornado can only be rated based off of damage. Doppler on Wheels data measured winds over 200 mph with this powerful tornado. Thankfully, it mainly moved across a rural area! Video from our tracker Conner Tune, near Eldorado, Oklahoma 5.23.24. | Emily Sutton
