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 YouTube 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.

Poor farmer. He has the worst luck. Rebuilding his home only to have another tornado rip through it right after his wife arrives from shopping. 😞

[lumi_hime]

every time the gnome was picked up i quietly screamed, "noooo!!"

[aspiealex]

Hats off to the amish for quickly getting the buildings rebuilt everytime

[gilliganallmighty]

EF-4/5 tornados also leave behind ground scouring. There have been instances where a foot of soil was lifted during some particularly stronf EF5 tornadoes.

[aghinem]

Never would expect this on such a clear, beautiful day.

[amirulasyraff]

That gnome don't deserve all that 😭

[aliciaaz]

The tornado: how many times do I have to teach you this lesson, old man??

[cstbrent]

Why would you drive your car up to a house that’s about to get hit by 6 tornadoes?

[steveozone]

It also seems like each tier tornado comes with louder music 😂

[CoolManPlaysGames]

How did the camera man survive having a car thrown at them

[puppybasket]

Excellent animation. The lawn gnome and the reverse reset were a lovely touch!

[techgod-hb]

great comparison on each EF scale and F scale of tornadoes, my guy for the animation!

[minissa]

Great simulation! If you ever redo, can you get in different shapes like wedge and multi-vortex? Or maybe a cone transitioning to a wedge?

[theresaschroeder]

What I want to know is how that tree on the left keeps surviving.

[wramsey]

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.

[aircraftandmore]

One minor thing, the tornado was rotating backwards, but this can happen with anticyclonic tornadoes which are rare so, that’s fine.

[rhondacroft]

Trees in the foreground:*gets disintegrated by f5*
Meanwhile the trees in the background:🌪 ☕️🌳

[Helo]

This seems pretty accurate actually, considering the pictures I've seen from the Indian Lake Tornado here in Ohio. It was a wedge EF3 at 155mph, 10mph shy of being an EF4.

[catmomma]

Superb animation. Thank you for this demonstration.

A coworker of mine was killed by an F-0 tornado in downtown Salt Lake City, it knocked an exhibit down upon him that he was working on. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message and the gentleman's name was Alan Crandy.
