Enhanced Fujita scale - Wikipedia
The old scale lists an F5 tornado as wind speeds of 261–318 mph (420–512 km/h), while the new scale lists an EF5 as a tornado with winds above 200 mph (322 km/h), found to be sufficient to cause the damage previously ascribed to the F5 range of wind speeds.
The Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale) - National Weather Service
The EF Scale was revised from the original Fujita Scale to reflect better examinations of tornado damage surveys so as to align wind speeds more closely with associated storm damage. The new scale has to do with how most structures are designed.
Enhanced F Scale for Tornado Damage - NOAA/NWS Storm ...
Enhanced F Scale for Tornado Damage. An update to the the original F-scale by a team of meteorologists and wind engineers, to be implemented in the U.S. on 1 February 2007.

2024年5月8日 · From weak to devastating tornadoes, a visual explanation of tornado damage on the Enhance Fujita Scale. Weaker tornadoes (EF0-EF1) produce damage but EF2-EF5 tornadoes are considered strong,...
Tornado Scale - The Enhanced Fujita Scale | TornadoFacts.net
Below is a brief description of each type of tornado on the Fujita scale. EF0 Tornado. Wind speeds between 65 to 85 mph (104 to 137 km/h) Light damage; Broken branches; shallow rooted trees pushed over; some chimney damage. EF1 Tornado. Wind speeds between 86 to 110 mph (138 to 177 km/h) Moderate damage
EF Scale - National Weather Service
The EF Scale incorporates 28 damage indicators (DIs) such as building type, structures, and trees. For each damage indicator, there are 8 degrees of damage (DOD) ranging from the beginning of visible damage to complete destruction of the damage indicator.
EF1 Tornado - Enhanced Fujita Scale - tornadofacts.net
EF1 tornadoes are characterized by wind speeds ranging from 86 to 110 miles per hour (138 to 177 kilometers per hour) which can inflict substantial damage to life and property. Meteorologists use damage indicators (DI) to estimate the strength of a tornado.
Enhanced Fujita Scale - Facts Just for Kids, Teachers and Parents
The Enhanced Fujita Scale is the tornado rating scale currently used in the United States of America. A tornado is rated from one of six categories (EF0, EF1, EF2, EF3, EF4 or EF5) on this scale. The weakest tornado is an EF0, while the strongest is an EF5.
Storm Prediction Center Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale)
The Fujita Scale is a well known scale that uses damage caused by a tornado and relates the damage to the fastest 1/4-mile wind at the height of a damaged structure. Fujita's scale was designed to connect smoothly the Beaufort Scale (B) with the speed of sound atmospheric scale, or Mach speed (M).
