Arab Weather - The maximum rating for a tornado's strength according to the Enhanced Fujita Scale is EF5. This scale is used to classify tornadoes based on the amount of destruction they cause, not just the direct wind speed.
An EF5 tornado is the most destructive, with wind speeds of 322 km/h or more, completely destroying buildings and homes, pulling structures off their foundations, and completely destroying cars.
The Enhanced Fujita scale ranges from EF0 (least powerful) to EF5 (most powerful), and damage is assessed to determine the tornado's rating after it occurs.
