Tornado Strength Comparison🤯 | Simulation of Destructive Power | 3D Animation

NOTE: The video is the artist's view of how destructive tornados might be based on the Enhanced Fujita Scale system.
Welcome to our KZread video, where we dive into the fascinating world of tornadoes and explore the different strength levels defined by the Enhanced Fujita Scale. Join us as we journey through the various levels of tornado strength, from the milder end to the most devastating twisters.

EF0 - The Marginal Twister:
EF0 tornadoes are characterized by wind speeds ranging from 65 to 85 mph (105 to 137 km/h). Although considered relatively weak, these tornadoes can still cause damage, such as peeling off roof shingles, breaking branches, and overturning lightweight outdoor objects. While not posing a significant threat to well-built structures, precautions should still be taken during an EF0 event.
EF1 - The Moderate Gust:
EF1 tornadoes exhibit wind speeds between 86 and 110 mph (138 to 177 km/h). At this level, we begin to witness more substantial damage. These tornadoes can remove entire sections of roofing, collapse chimneys, and uproot large trees. Well-constructed homes and buildings may experience structural damage, emphasizing the need for preparedness and sheltering during an EF1 event.
EF2 - The Significant Cyclone:
EF2 tornadoes demonstrate increased intensity with wind speeds ranging from 111 to 135 mph (178 to 217 km/h). Structures within the path of an EF2 tornado face significant risks. Roofs can be completely torn off, exterior walls can collapse, and mobile homes are at a high risk of destruction. Large objects become dangerous projectiles, and the threat to life and property escalates. It is crucial to seek immediate shelter and follow emergency protocols in the face of an EF2 event.
EF3 - The Severe Whirlwind:
Tornadoes classified as EF3 display a considerable increase in strength, with wind speeds ranging from 136 to 165 mph (219 to 265 km/h). These storms can cause severe damage, including the complete destruction of well-built homes and the collapse of commercial structures. Reinforced buildings may sustain significant damage, and the uprooting of trees becomes widespread. EF3 tornadoes pose a significant risk to life and require urgent action and adherence to safety measures.
EF4 - The Devastating Monster:
EF4 tornadoes represent a significant escalation in intensity, with wind speeds between 166 and 200 mph (267 to 322 km/h). These twisters unleash extreme devastation. Well-built homes are leveled, leaving only debris behind. Reinforced structures can suffer extensive damage, and even underground shelters may not be entirely safe. Large objects, including cars, are lifted and thrown significant distances. The potential for loss of life and catastrophic destruction is extreme during an EF4 event, demanding immediate action and adherence to evacuation orders.
EF5 - The Unleashed Fury:
At the highest level of the Enhanced Fujita Scale, we encounter the most powerful and destructive tornadoes. EF5 tornadoes exhibit wind speeds exceeding 200 mph (322 km/h). These monstrous storms can obliterate entire neighborhoods, reduce even well-constructed buildings to rubble, and cause unimaginable devastation over a wide area. The impact on human life is severe, and survival becomes increasingly challenging. In the face of an EF5 tornado, evacuation and finding shelter in reinforced underground structures or storm shelters is absolutely critical.

Excellent video and a great teaching tool. I helped clean up the Tuscaloosa tornado which also oscillated between a four and at five. I saw several foundations of buildings with nothing there it had wiped them from the face of the Earth. Until you actually visit a site and experience the damage you don’t really have a good idea. And the lives that it destroys will leave you having nightmares.

Twister was one of my favourite movies growing up. It was old, but I loved it. As a girl into science the character of Jo was someone i looked up to. I particularly loved that she didnt fit the nerd stereo type.
Being born and raised in Oklahoma I have always just stood on the balcony or front porch watching the tornadoes until they are right on top of us. I’ve been in the center of probably 20 or more in my life and it’s honestly really fun. EF 3 and below you really don’t even have to go inside, just be somewhere that a strong wall or something is going to absorb a branch impact. EF4 and 5 you need to go to a storm cellar or a room at the center of the house as low as possible. Also for EF4 and 5 you’d better be prepared for no power, be stocked on groceries(no refrigerated items), have a full tank in case the gas stations go down. Usually never gets that bad but if it does you’ll be thankful you did

Wow! Great illustration of how powerful these forces of nature can be, even at the lowest end of the EF scale these swirling winds of evil can still pose a potent threat. I’m a native Californian and for as long as I can remember, going back to kindergarten and elementary school, part of our curriculum was earthquake education, preparation and reaction. I’m curious and if anyone who reads this who grew up in a part of the country that is considered prone to tornadoes, did you have tornado drills in school? And did they also educate you about them (tornadoes), like what the EF ratings , etc.

One of the things that just mde me shake my head when we studied it in uni was that we alredy have options for building extrenely tornado resistant buildings, and have for a long time, yet we keep rebuilding structures proven to have extremely poor resistance and to be unsafe. Get this, these alternatives are even cheaper! This insane focus on a certain aesthetic over safety and efficiency needs to stop. If you were in an earthquake prone area you'd probably agree a more earthquake resistant building is prudent if your previous house collapsed. Why not with twisters/tornadoes?
The west coast deals with earthquakes, the south deals with these. And from Alabama to Georgia, they come at night, between 12AM and 4AM but it's happened during the morning rush too.

Would’ve been cool to see the house thrown instead of being leveled again with the EF5. Even EF4 tornadoes are able to pick up and launch two story houses there’s a short two minute video on KZread showing just that actually.

Impossible for an EF4 to do that. It would automatically upgrade the tornado. The only one I've ever seen on video was Elie which was a firm EF5 DI and they upgraded it just based on that video. I've seen a bunch shred the house apart in one go though if that is what you mean?

The enhanced fujita scale is a measurement of the damage done by a tornado. If it slabs a well built house, then it's an ef5. So unless it's a poorly built house, lifting an entire house would be reducing it to slab, and would automatically make it an ef5

@@Mr___fUNLESS the house wasn't properly secured to the slab. There are certain ways a house can be built that they will allow it to be reduced to the slab and still keep it an ef4, it's just the well built brick houses affixed to the foundation that automatically would trigger an upgrade
So what's the difference between the Fujita scale and the enhanced fujita? Why reduce the wind speed?

I think it would be cool to be outside in a debris free area in an EF0, as long as you knew it wasn't going to intensify
All the damage caused by tornadoes is selectively chosen by the video editor, it has no real physics. But it serves to get an idea of the destructive power that these events have.
Lovely weather today, minus that random F5 destroying everything
It takes at least an EF2 tornado 🌪 to cause a ⚠️ ⚠️ Amber Alert Underground Vacuum Sealed Stormshelter is necessary 120 mph sustained winds or 190 kmh. About 15 percent of these tornadoes reach this intensity, an intense classic supercell thunderstorm is required, which occurs 2 hours before that tornado starts to form.

When he saw what I did,he was shocked! We'd had an EF3 tornado that started way out, and just kept on going. it went through several towns, before hitting Webster. Webster had 3 buildings that were going to come down, and all three of those were destroyed by the tornado.

It would have been better if there was wind and debris noise instead of music. My experience with an F4 was I heard that roar first. Then the roar with debris smashing into everything.
