THAT IS, A FULLY FORMED TORNADO. NOW, IN MEASURING TORNADO STRENGTH, WE USE THE ENHANCED FUJITA SCALE, OR THE EF SCALE THAT’S BEEN UPDATED. MAYBE SOME FOLKS MY AGE ARE A LITTLE OLDER.

Once a tornado touches the ground, its strength is estimated by meteorologists using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, ranging from EF-0, the weakest tornado with winds estimated between 65 and ...

University of Chicago meteorology professor Ted Fujita studied and mapped this tornado, which was key in the development of the scale that bears his name. Occasionally, the strongest tornadoes are ...
