Tornadoes are commonly rated using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which categorizes them based on the estimated wind speeds and the resulting damage to structures and vegetation. The scale ranges from EF0, indicating weak tornadoes with wind speeds of 65-85 mph, to EF5, representing the most destructive tornadoes with wind speeds exceeding 200 mph. This system helps meteorologists communicate the intensity and potential impact of tornadoes to the public and emergency services.
