Classes of Tornadoes… Main Types of Tornadoes Tornadoes are classified/measured by the Fujita Scale. The Fujita Scale is used to rate the intensity of a tornado by examining the damage caused by the tornado after it has passed over a man-made structure. The Fujita scale has values of F0 to F6. A key point to remember is this: the size of a tornado is not necessarily an indication of its intensity. Large tornadoes can be weak, and small tornadoes can be violent.

Hurricanes… A hurricane is an intense, rotating storm system that forms over warm tropical waters Form in the late summer or early fall. Are circular in shape, ranging from 300 to 1000 km across, with winds over 118 km/h within 50km of the center. Are formed by a low-pressure disturbance over a large body of warm water. The evaporation of this water will intensify the resulting storm. If the storm is far enough from the equator the winds will circulate around a center of low pressure due to the Coriolis force.
