This proves the major flaw in the Fujita Scale, if it doesn't damage anything the rating will be low even if it is powerful. Which is fine by me BTW. It has happened countless times this year.
OT here, I remembered a show where it they kept saying that the F5 was a storm chaser's dream. Well wake up, it has to destroy lives and property to have that, no storm chaser would want that!!! A tornado with winds of 450 mph that traverses through nothing would get a rating of F0!
Look at the pics and video posted, I highly doubt that this is only an F1.
Looks can be very deceiving. And it would get an F-1 rating.
F0 is the lowest rating. If a tornado passes through crop it could even get an F2, but I'm saying that NOTHING is even touched. Of course this example is unrealistic, but you get the picture.
Yeah I know F0 is the lowest rating. That example is very unrealistic as you noted. Most tornadoes that cause a good amount of tree damage recieve an F1 rating.
