Tornadic Winds
The Fujita Scale (F scale) is used to estimate tornadic wind speeds based on the damage produced:
| SCALE | WIND SPEED | DAMAGE |
| F0 | less than 72 MPH | Light - tree branches broken |
| F1 | 73-112 MPH | Moderate- trees snapped |
| F2 | 113-157 MPH | Considerable - large trees uprooted |
| F3 | 158-206 MPH | Severe- cars overturned |
| F4 | 207-260 MPH | Devastating - frame houses destroyed |
| F5 | greater than 261 MPH | Incredible - not much survives an F5 |
