Its Tornado season so I decided to put up some pics and facts that show the awesome and dangerous power of these things created by mother nature.The Fujita-Pearson scale or more popularly known as the F scale, is used to measure the intensity of a tornado based on the amount of damage done by a passing tornado over an area.

The scale was introduced in 1971 and is named for Ted Fujita who was a professor at the University of Chicago. F0 between 40-72 mph Branches break off of trees and pushes over smaller trees. F1 between 73-112 mph Tiles break off of roofs. Cars and trailers get pushed. F2 between 113-157 mph Roofs get torn off. Big trees get toppled. Mobile homes are destroyed. Heavy cars are lifted and thrown.

F3 between 158–206 mph Roofs torn off even on the most well constructed structures. Trains are overturned. F4 between 207-260 mph Well constructed structures are leveled. Structures with weak foundations are blown away. F5 between 261–318 mph Few if any structures are left standing. Cars become missiles flying in the air.
