possible to low lying shrubs/bushes, particularly of the evergreen variety. Moderate damage to trees, with a few medium sized branches in leaf snapping on the upper bound of T1, trees without leaves on them likely remaining mostly unscathed except for significant twig breakage, although for some a few small branches could break. Very weak/unhealthy trees, particularly those in leaf and of softwood variety such as conifers are likely to be nearly or completely uprooted.
1009:
warehouse-type constructions may buckle slightly. Well built steel reinforced concrete buildings/houses suffer total roof loss with some damage to overall structure though most walls remain standing, particularly the lower floors. Trains whether stationary or not are blown over. All large branches torn/stripped from trees down to the trunk, some small-medium sized trees are thrown. Noticeable debarking of any standing tree trunks from flying debris.

change of type of railway locomotives, and was written in an environment where tornadoes of F2 or stronger are extremely rare, so little or no first-hand investigation of actual damage at the upper end of the scale was possible. The TORRO scale has more graduations than the F scale which makes it arguably more useful for tornadoes on the lower end of the scale; however, such accuracy and precision are not typically attainable in practice.
66: 871:
plastic/glass roofing cover with a total collapse of some weak/average greenhouse structures likely. Garage roofs torn away, some to significant damage to tiled roofs and chimney stacks with many tiles missing, particularly to weak wooden framed homes, though typically thatched roofs with small eaves/smooth surface suffer only minor damage, outbuildings lose entire roofs and suffer some degree of damage to actual structure.
25: 1059:
likely to be flipped and rolled repeatedly some distance away from tracks with some levitation likely along the way. Strong brick masonry buildings/houses almost or completely destroyed with large sections of houses/building blown away from foundation. Concrete pathways slightly above soil level could be shifted in position by several inches. Complete debarking of any standing tree-trunks.

likely inside of these buildings. Stronger brick masonry homes may lose a few rows of bricks on second floor, though overall structure below roof itself largely standing with bottom floor relatively intact except for doors and windows, the roof mostly or entirely blown/torn off. The oldest, weakest buildings may collapse completely.
983:
buildings collapse, national grid pylons severely damaged or blown down/bent and deformed, Strong trees that aren't uprooted /snapped will suffer major debranching with most leaves torn off, other trees excluding the widest and strongest ones are snapped/uprooted, very large heavy branches thrown large distances.

replaced the original Fujita Scale from 1971. It made substantial improvements in standardizing damage descriptors through expanding and refining damage indicators and associated degrees of damage, as well as calibrated tornado wind speeds to better match the associated damage. However, the EF Scale,

Unlike with the F scale, no analyses have been undertaken at all to establish the veracity and accuracy of the T scale damage descriptors. The scale was written in the early 1970s, and does not take into account changes such as the growth in weight of vehicles or the great reduction in numbers and
