<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13pt;">Students will write a creative story that depicts an imaginary tornado experience using the Fujita scale. Students will analyze each others stories to guess and discuss which F-Scale rating their stories depict.

The Fujita scale is a ranking of tornado severity with numbers from 0 to 5, based on the degree of observed damage. Use the Fujita scale handout to determine the Fujita scaling ranking (1-5) and the estimated wind speed in mph for the following descriptions. 1) After a tornado, it is observed that homes with weak foundations are picked up and blown down the street.  2) After a a tornado, broken branches are observed, but all mobile homes are still in tact and on their foundations. 3) After a tornado, mobile homes are destroyed, roofs are torn off houses, heavy cars are tossed down the street and trees are uprooted.  4) After a tornado, uprooted trees with bark peeled off are observed and concrete and steel bridges are badly damaged.
