Tornadoes have occurred on every continent on this planet (except poor Antarctica), and they can produce the highest wind speeds ever recorded on Earth. But, humans don't actually know that much about them. Part of that problem is caused by the difficulty in measuring a natural phenomenon that destroys any equipment that researchers put in its path.

So, despite decades of investigation, our rating system for tornado strength is still rudimentary and unfortunately subjective. But, maybe that's changing as the Fujita scale evolved into the Enhanced Fujita scale a few years ago. But, why is the EF scale better? What's the difference between F and EF?

Let's have a look.
