What this measures
Tornado segments recorded by the National Weather Service, with their Enhanced Fujita rating.
- A tornado that crosses a county line is recorded as one segment per county, so segments outnumber tornadoes.
- Ratings are assigned from damage surveys; a tornado over open country may be rated lower than its true strength.
