Tornadoes are ranked on the Fujita Wind Damage Scale from F-0 to F-6. You have probably never heard of an F-6 tornado because if they do ever occur (which is unlikely), it would be nearly impossible to determine that it was in fact an F-6 because of all the mess.

2021年10月21日 · Very importantly, the Fujita scales are damage scales, simply because it's very difficult to directly measure the speeds of a tornado. As such we base tornado ratings by analyzing the degree which it damaged objects; SPC's Fujita scale page lists the 28 damage indicators currently available as of 2017.

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. When tornado-related damage is surveyed, it is compared to a list of Damage Indicators (DIs) and Degrees of Damage (DoD) which help estimate better the range of wind ...
