tornado strength and wind speeds
Tornado strength refers to the intensity of a tornado, which is categorized using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale. The EF scale ranks tornadoes based on the estimated damage they cause to buildings and vegetation. Wind speed is a crucial component of tornado strength, and it measures the velocity of the wind within the tornado. Higher wind speeds indicate a more powerful tornado, capable of causing extensive destruction.
