Risks Posed by Tornadoes Tornadoes can: Rip trees apart. Destroy buildings. Uproot structures and objects. Send debris and glass flying. Overturn cars and mobile homes.

Fujita Wind-Damage Scale Measures tornado strength Six levels: F0: Light damage F1: Moderate damage F2: Considerable damage F3: Severe damage F4: Devastating damage F5: Incredible damage

Tornado Preparedness Know the risk. Identify a safe room. Learn the communitys warning system. Conduct family tornado drills.

Tornado Clues High winds Very large hail
