The EF Scale was revised from the original Fujita Scale to reflect better examinations of tornado damage surveys so as to align wind speeds more closely with associated storm damage. The new scale has to do with how most structures are designed.

The EF Scale takes into account more variables than the original F Scale did when assigning a wind speed rating to a tornado. The EF Scale incorporates 28 damage indicators (DIs) such as building type, structures, and trees.

The EF Scale, which became operational on February 1, 2007, is used to assign a tornado intensity 'rating' based on estimated wind speeds and related damage. When tornado-related damage is surveyed, it is compared to a list of Damage Indicators (DI) and Degrees of Damage (DoD) which help better estimate the range of wind speeds the tornado ...

A severe thunderstorm moving northeast across northern Kentucky produced an EF-1 tornado. The tornado tracked 8.3 miles across Oldham County doing damage mostly to the upper halves of several trees.

Aug 6, 2024 · Five EF-1 tornadoes and widespread straight-line wind damage occurred across Northeast Ohio.
