Damaged wind turbines have become important clue in solving a tornado's strength

A tornado is a violent, rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. It forms when warm, moist air collides with cool, dry air, creating instability and wind shear. Tornadoes can cause devastating damage, uprooting trees, destroying buildings, and hurling debris at high speeds. They vary in intensity, measured by the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, ranging from EF0 to EF5. Tornadoes are most common in regions like Tornado Alley in the United States but can occur worldwide.

The Enderlin, North Dakota tornado from June 2025 has just been upgraded to EF5 — the most powerful rating on the Enhanced Fujita scale. Winds over 210 mph leveled homes, twisted steel, and caused fatalities. This makes it one of the strongest tornadoes ever recorded in U.S. history. #Tornado #EF5 #NorthDakota #SevereWeather #ChaosOfNature | Struggler Struggling
