改良藤田スケール
This was the last tornado in Kansas to be rated F5 on the Fujita scale. The next 5-rated tornado in the state was the tornado that ravaged Greensburg in Kiowa County 16 years later on May 4, 2007; this tornado received an EF5 rating using the newer Enhanced Fujita scale, which the National Weather Service adopted on February 1, 2007.
