How To Predict Tornados

Hello I'm weather announcer Melissa Schenk and on behalf of Expert Village today we're going to be talking about the weather. In this clip let's talk about tornadoes for a moment in an earlier segment we just discussed watches and warnings the difference between those. We we're talking about for instance a severe thunderstorm watch or warning there's always the chance or a threat of a tornado and when you hear about tornadoes occurring perhaps in the news and you hear that is was either a category 1 or a category 2, 3, or 4 what there referring to is basically the fugita scale. You may or may not heard of this before so I posted now as you can see basically a scale a table if you will how to interpret the fugita scale so tornadoes are in basically 6 different categories you got a category F or a F0 and it goes all the way to a category 5. And you can really disguinish these there very simply with the winds and how strong the winds are, so you can see a category F or a F0. Lighter winds winds that 50 to 72 miles an hour F1 jumps up to 73 to 112 miles per hour and an F2 113 to 157 miles per hour and then you jump all the way towards category 5 and these those really strong incredible tornadoes that can ripe towns apart, really your wind gusts get up towards 261 and 318 miles per hour. So you can see this is where you never heard of the fugita scale this is where it comes from and when your hearing and lessoning perhaps to local news when you hear of a category F or F2 or an F5 this is where all that information is coming from.
