High Wind Events/Tornadoes
Tornadoes form when warm rotating columns of air extending from a thunderstorm create a vortex and a
spiraling funnel of wind. Classified by the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale 2007), tornados are categorized by
a numeric score of zero to five based on observed damage severity. Tornadoes are rare in New Hampshire,
but mainly occur from April through September, and are mainly low intensity of EF-2 or lower. If a tornado
occurs, damage can be caused to roofs or siding, can cause complete destruction of buildings, or down trees.
