This is to clear up why it seems the press is "under reporting" tornado wind strength, in light of the recent events.

I doubt Dr. Fujita would be very happy with this "new scale"

Who knows, he said his old scale was not perfect and it needed improvements.

It's not that the wind is blowing, it is what the wind is blowing...

Why would he be unhappy with it? He agreed his scale was flawed.

From one of your links: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/efscale/ Over the years, the F-Scale has revealed the following weaknesses: It is subjective based solely on the damage caused by a tornado No recognition in difference in construction Difficult to apply with no damage indicators if the 3/4-mile wide tornado does not hit any structures, what F-scale should be assigned? Subject to bias Based on the worst damage (even if it is one building or house) Overestimates wind speeds greater than F3
