2024年5月6日 · That tornado was given a preliminary rating of EF4. Its approximate peak winds clocked in at 165-170 mph. If we used the original Fujita scale, it would have been classified …

The Fujita (F) Scale was originally developed by Dr. Tetsuya Theodore Fujita to estimate tornado wind speeds based on damage left behind by a tornado. An Enhanced Fujita (EF) Scale, …

The Fujita Scale is a well known scale that uses damage caused by a tornado and relates the damage to the fastest 1/4-mile wind at the height of a damaged structure. Fujita's scale was …

EF4 tornadoes are characterized by wind speeds ranging from 166 to 200 miles per hour (267 to 322 kilometers per hour). At this level, the destructive potential of these tornadoes becomes …
