What scale measures the intensity of tornadoes?

Fact

Did you know?

Tetsuya Theodore Fujita introduced the Fujita scale in 1971, a revolution in classifying tornadoes based on the damage caused. This scale, from F0 to F5, assesses potential devastation, ranging from light to incredible damage. In 2007, it was upgraded to become the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, offering more accurate assessments of tornadoes. This update reflects advancements in meteorology in understanding tornadoes, highlighting the importance of Fujita's original scale in studying these violent phenomena.
