The Enhanced Fujita scale (abbreviated as EF-Scale) rates tornado intensity based on the severity of the damage they cause. It is used in some countries, including the United States and France. [ 1 ] The EF scale is also unofficially used in other countries, including China and Brazil.

The Enhanced Fujita Scale or EF Scale, which became operational on February 1, 2007, is used to assign a tornado a 'rating' based on estimated wind speeds and related damage.

Next on the Enhanced Fujita Scale is the EF2 tornado. This category of tornado is rarer than EF0s and EF1s, but accounts for more deaths and property damage than both combined. With winds between 111 and 135 mph (178–217 km/h), considerable damage is often left behind.

2023年8月10日 · An EF2 tornado is the third weakest tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. An EF2 tornado has wind speeds between 111 and 135 mph (178 and 217 km/h).

The Enhanced Fujita Scale is the tornado rating scale currently used in the United States of America. A tornado is rated from one of six categories (EF0, EF1, EF2, EF3, EF4 or EF5) on this scale. The weakest tornado is an EF0, while the strongest is an EF5.

The Fujita scale (F-Scale), also known as the Fujita-Pearson scale, is a tornado scale that was introduced in 1971 by Tetsuya Fujita. In the United States the Fujita scale was replaced with the Enhanced Fujita scale (EF-Scale), which is now the primary scale …

categorize each tornado by its intensity and its area; estimate a wind speed associated with the damage caused by the tornado; Dr. Fujita and his staff showed the value of the scale's application by surveying every tornado from the Super Outbreak of April 3-4, 1974.

Next on the scale is an EF2 tornado, with winds from 111 to 135 miles per hour—strong enough to take an entire roof off. But there’s even stronger winds at 136 to 165 miles per hour from an EF3. Resulting in levels of a home being blown off and first-floor walls toppling down.
