The TORRO tornado intensity scale (or T-Scale) is a scale measuring tornado intensity between T0 and T11. It was proposed by Terence Meaden of the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (TORRO) , a meteorological organisation in the United Kingdom , as an extension of the Beaufort scale .
In the U.S., F0 and F1 (T0 through T3) tornadoes account for 80% of all tornadoes. The rate of occurrence drops off quickly with increasing strength—violent tornadoes (F4/T8 or stronger), account for less than one percent of all tornado reports. [6] Worldwide, strong tornadoes account for an even smaller percentage of total tornadoes.

The similar TORRO scale ranges from T0 for extremely weak tornadoes to T11 for the most powerful known tornadoes. [12] The International Fujita scale is also used to rate the intensity of tornadoes and other wind events based on the severity of the damage they cause. [13]
