F0 Tornado - Tornado Rating on the Fujita Scale | TornadoFacts.net
An F0 tornado has a rating classification of Weak. The F0 rating was replaced by EF0 under the new Enhanced Fujita Scale. From 1970 to 2002, F0 tornados account for 39% of all tornados occurence in the United States. Since 1970s, there has been a large increase in damage caused by rated F0 tornados
