The Fujita Scale

Tornadoes of the more distant past are hard to verify. Records of tornadoes exist, but the accuracy of those records remains a bit shaky. Part of the problem is that the existence of a tornado needed to be verified by sight in the past. One of the oldest tornado photos was taken in South Dakota in 1884. Now imagine if no one was around to photograph the tornado. The unpredictability of tornadoes means they do not necessarily land where anyone will see them.
