The documentary The Twister: Caught in the Storm is constantly using the Enhanced Fujita scale when talking about the tornadoes featured in the film, so here is how the EF scale works and how many ...

A Central Oklahoma community still recovering from an EF-1 tornado in March found itself the target of another natural ...

One of the biggest errors in the old "Twister" was that the team of scientists rated the tornadoes on the Fujita's 0-5 scale as the storms formed. But this isn't how it happens in reality.

Once they estimate the wind speed that could’ve caused the damage, using ground reports and Doppler radar data, they can then establish an Enhanced Fujita scale rating for that tornado.

April 11, 1965, was warm. Some might say it was too warm. It was the kind of humid day that spikes your nerves.

It was the highest rating possible on the Enhanced Fujita scale. Winds reached over 200 miles per hour, and at one point, the twister stretched nearly a mile across. The storm stayed on the ground ...

Two of the tornadoes — both rated as an EF0 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale — touched down in Butler ... also in southwest Ohio. The twister reached a peak wind gust of 90 miles per hour, and ...

THAT IS, A FULLY FORMED TORNADO. NOW, IN MEASURING TORNADO STRENGTH, WE USE THE ENHANCED FUJITA SCALE, OR THE EF SCALE THAT’S BEEN UPDATED. MAYBE SOME FOLKS MY AGE ARE A LITTLE OLDER.
