Each year, more than 2,000 tornadoes are recorded worldwide, with the vast majority occurring in North America and Europe. [1] [2] To assess the intensity of these events, meteorologist Ted Fujita devised a method to estimate maximum wind speeds within tornadic storms based on the damage caused; this became known as the Fujita scale. The scale ...
A wind atlas contains data on the wind speed and wind direction in a region. [1] These data include maps , but also time series or frequency distributions . A climatological wind atlas covers hourly averages at a standard height (10 meters) over even longer periods (30 years) but depending on the application there are variations in averaging ...
It crossed into Tennessee and did F4 damage in both states, though the supposed F5 damage only occurred in Alabama where numerous homes were swept away and extensive wind-rowing of debris occurred. Some of the damage in Tennessee was previously rated F5, but later downgraded to F4. [67] [69] Apr 3: 1974: United States Alabama Guin, Twin, Delmar: 28
An EF0 tornado has estimated wind speeds from 65–85 mph (29–38 m/s; 105–137 km/h) which usually results in minor structural damage and broken tree limbs. An EF5 tornado has estimated wind speeds of greater than 200 mph (89 m/s; 320 km/h) and can destroy reinforced concrete structures and well-built homes, reducing them to piles of rubble ...

In addition to the megawatt wind farms, community scale single wind turbines of from 250 kW to 750 kW are typically 50 meters high, and residential or farm wind turbines are typically 15–40 m (49–131 ft) high. To address these markets, maps are available showing wind potential at 30 m (98 ft) [7] and 50 m (160 ft). [8]
Wind speeds over 75 miles per hour are classified as “hurricane force,” capable of pushing moving vehicles off the highway, overturning mobile homes and peeling off roofs. The average wind ...
