As tornadoes can vary significantly in strength and potential for damage, the Enhanced F-scale is used to rate tornadoes for classification (EF0 through EF5) based on their estimated wind speeds and resultant damage. It is important to keep in mind that, while tornadoes can vary drastically in size (ranging from a few yards to over one mile in width), shape, and land speed (with some tornadoes moving so slowly that they appear nearly stationary while others cover land at up to 60 miles per hour), these factors are not effective means of determining the strength or potential for damage that a tornado may represent.
The Enhanced F-scale breaks tornado into 3 different categories, weak, strong, and violent.
EF0 Tornado: Wind Speeds of 65 to 85 mph.
EF1 Tornado: Wind Speeds of 86 to 110 mph.
EF2 Tornado: Wind Speeds of 111 to 135 mph.
EF3 Tornado: Wind Speeds of 136 to 165 mph.
EF 4 Tornado: Wind Speeds of 166 to 200 mph.
EF 5 Tornado: Wind Speeds of Over 200 mph.
For the most part, Tornado damage is covered by most home insurance policies. Damage caused by wind and debris is often covered by most homeowners insurance policies, while secondary damage such as Mold contamination may be covered in some policies while not covered in others. It is always recommended to review your specific policy with your local Insurance Agent so that they can provide you with information specific to your coverages and ensure that you are adequately covered in the event that you experience a claim in the future.
Tornado damage can be severe, resulting in structural damage, trip & fall hazards, and electrical hazards. Always use caution inside and around your property.
Take pictures of all of the tornado damage to your home and contents, and keep a list of anything that has to be disposed of.
