  2. Tornado intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_intensity

    Tornado intensity is the measure of wind speeds and potential risk produced by a tornado. Intensity can be measured by in situ or remote sensing measurements, but since these are impractical for wide-scale use, intensity is usually inferred by proxies , such as damage.

  3. Enhanced Fujita scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Fujita_scale

    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.

  4. International Fujita scale - Wikipedia

    For the IF scale, only wind speeds measured at or below 10 metres (11 yd) can be used to determine a rating. Doppler weather radar measurements are also able to be used to determine a rating if they are measured within damaging distance. For radar measurements, any readings below 60 metres (66 yd) can be used to determine a rating. [4] [3]

    “The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, few tornadoes and a minimal threat of hail,” NWS forecaster Paul Ziegenfelder said.

  8. Fujita scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujita_scale

    The rating of any given tornado is of the most severe damage to any well-built frame home or comparable level of damage from engineering analysis of other damage. Since the Fujita scale is based on the severity of damage resulting from high winds, a tornado exceeding F5 is an immeasurable theoretical construct.
