For active storms, this feature provides an estimated rating based on remote sensing data.
This tool guides users through the official process of rating a tornado when wind speed data is unavailable (the most common scenario).
Rating tornadoes is essential for several reasons:
While the EF Scale is the most widely used system, there are other rating systems in use, including:
Rating tornadoes is the scientific process of determining a storm's intensity by analyzing the damage it leaves behind. Because direct wind measurements are rarely captured within a tornado’s core, meteorologists use standardized scales to estimate wind speeds based on the "Degree of Damage" (DoD) to various "Damage Indicators" (DIs) like homes, trees, and power lines.
