Instead, after a tornado hits, the U.S. National Weather Service uses a rating system it adopted in 1973 called the Fujita Scale. Devised by meteorologist Theodore Fujita in 1970, the F-scale ...

(WSIL) -- One question you may ask yourself is how tornadoes are measured? It's with the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale which is gives a tornado a rating based on the damage and estimated wind speeds.

Tornadoes are classified on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which ranges from EF0 to EF5. Originally created by famed tornado researcher Ted Fujita, the scale takes into account estimated wind speeds ...

He immersed himself in research on tornadoes and introduced the “Fujita Scale”, a six-point scale to classify degrees of tornado intensity.
