The letter “F” in an F5 tornado is derived from “Fujita,” honoring Dr. Tetsuya Theodore Fujita, a Japanese-American meteorologist credited with creating the Fujita Scale in 1971. This scale assesses tornado intensity by evaluating the damage they inflict, spanning from F0 to F5 ratings. At the apex of this scale, an F5 tornado is the most formidable, with wind speeds estimated to surpass 200 miles per hour, capable of causing widespread devastation. Such tornadoes have the potential to demolish sturdy structures, uproot trees, hoist heavy objects like cars or trains, and leave behind a path of severe ruin.
