Question

What aspects of the enhanced fujita scale are inaccurate?

Answer 1

Despite the advances in weather technology (Doppler radar, etc.) they still have to more or less estimate the windspeed.  Having been through one of the worst tornado outbreaks in the last century (the April 3rd 1974 outbreak) I can tell by footage of tornado damage what the rating is.  The enhanced Fujita scale just dropped the windspeeds for each rating.  FYI, Fujita himself said there was at least one F6 in the 74 outbreak after seeing the damage done to Xenia, Ohio.  For some reason they still don't have that high a rating. Estimated windspeed for the Xenia touchdown was 318 mph.

Answer 2

They only look at damage and not windspeed which is a bit ridiculous.  If there is little to no damage it's a low scale.  So, even if a MONSTER of a tornado that had high wind speeds and such was in the middle of nowhere where no damage could happen; they can't rate it an F5 or whatever.  Since the enhanced scale is rated on damage, so if there is nothing to damange; they can't have an accurate system.
