Examples of different level tornadoes of the Enhanced Fujita Scale that I have documented. The Enhanced Fujita Scale provides an estimated range of tornadic wind speeds based on damage left behind. The scale rates tornado intensity from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest) based on damage severity and estimated wind speeds. It replaced the original Fujita scale in the US in 2007 to better align wind speeds with storm damage. The EF scale considers more variables, including 28 damage indicators (DIs)

Pontiac, IL EF1 tornado damage captured by drone: roofs ripped, power poles snapped, trees snapped, siding blown off. A striking reminder that the weather can flip from sunny and 60 to snow in hours. Have seen snow and tornado damage in the same storm system, but in the same spot is unusual. Stay weather-aware and heed warnings. 📹🌪️❄️ Contact Curtislergner@gmail.com for licensing. #PontiacIL #EF1 #TornadoDamage #ILwx #SevereWeather #StormChasing #DroneVideo #WeatherUpdate #StaySafe #WeatherPat

Chasing a Multi-Vortex Tornado inside the bear's cage! I don't usually end up this close. We had to drive East and South quickly to get out of the way before it crossed the road and turned into a large tornado. It's always important to have and escape route when tracking tornadoes! This tornado was rated an F-3, before the enhanced fujita scale was put into use. It touched down in Nicollet County, Minnesota in August of 2006. #tornado #storm #Minnesota | Melanie Metz Storm Chasing
