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 ...

That’s where the Enhanced Fujita Scale, more commonly known as the EF scale, comes into play. The EF scale is the scale that meteorologists use to survey damage and estimate a tornado’s ...

Instead, after a tornado hits, the U.S. National Weather Service uses a rating system it adopted in 1973 called the Fujita Scale. Devised by meteorologist Theodore Fujita in 1970, the F-scale ...

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.

He immersed himself in research on tornadoes and introduced the “Fujita Scale”, a six-point scale to classify degrees of tornado intensity.
