How are tornados measured?


Tornadoes Range From EF1-EF5, (Enhanced Fujita Scale) with EF5 being the most powerful of them all. The EF5 can be up to a mile in diameter and 50 miles long reach wind speeds of 300 mph. These Dangerous natural occurrences form from warm moist air in eastward-moving cold fronts.
The Fujita Scale is the older scale used to measure the power of a tornado.
The Enhanced Fujita scale is the newer scale we use to measure the power and other things aswell
