Fujita

Fujita, often referring to the Fujita Scale, is a system used to classify tornadoes based on their intensity and the damage they cause. It ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (most severe). Meteorologists assess damage to buildings, trees, and other structures after a tornado to estimate wind speeds and categorize it accordingly. This scale helps in understanding the tornado's severity, informing safety measures and responses. Importantly, it focuses on observed damage rather than direct wind measurements, making it a practical tool for assessing tornado impact.
