| Tornado organizing stage | funnel cloud descends and increases intensity |
| Tornado mature stage | tornado intensity peaks at this stage |
| Tornado shrinking stage | tornado vortex tilts over more often beginning to take on a rope-like appearance |
| Tornado decay stage | tornado stretches into a rope-like formation, until it finally dissipates |
| Tilting | Super cell thunderstorms rotate about a vertical axis |
| Law of conservation of Momentum | A tornado's rotational velocity is inversely proportional to its radius (V1 * R1 = V2 * R2) |
| Fujita Scale, F0 | Weak, 40 - 72 mph, light damage, branches broken |
| Fujita Scale, F1 | Weak, 73 - 112 mph, moderate damage, shingles peeled off |
| Fujita Scale, F2 | Strong, 113 - 157 mph, considerable damage, roofs torn off |
| Fujita Scale, F3 | Strong, 158 - 206 mph, Severe, roofs and some walls torn off well-built houses |
| Fujita Scale, F4 | Violent, 207 - 260 mph, devastating, Well-built houses leveled |
| Fujita Scale, F5 | Incredible, 261 - 318 mph, strong houses lifted off foundations, and carried by the wind. Automobile missiles, and trees debarked. |
