[LeArc] NWS Improved Tornado Rating System Now Operational

[Jesse Risley]

On February 1st, the National Weather Service fully implemented the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale to rate tornadoes, replacing the original Fujita Scale. The EF scale will continue to rate tornadoes on a scale from zero to five, but ranges in wind speed will be more accurate with the improved rating scale.
