Unlike the tornado featured yesterday which was an EF2 event, the strike in Yancheng attained EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
与昨天的龙卷风属于EF2级事件不同,盐城的龙卷风在增强型藤田等级上达到了EF3级。
The Scale defines EF3 tornados as having wind speeds of between 218 and 266 km/h. They can cause roofs and outside walls to be blown away, and any or all trees in the tornado’s path to be uprooted and lofted into the air. Two-story homes are likely to have their second floor destroyed, while high-rise buildings will have windows blown out. Metal shed-like buildings, such as factories, may be completely destroyed; buses may be uplifted and even trains rolled onto their sides.
该等级将 EF3 龙卷风定义为风速在 218 至 266 公里/小时之间。它们可能会导致屋顶和外墙被吹走,龙卷风路径上的任何或所有树木都会被连根拔起并抛向空中。两层住宅的二楼可能会被摧毁,而高层建筑的窗户可能会被炸毁。工厂等金属棚状建筑物可能会被完全摧毁;公共汽车可能会被抬起,甚至火车可能会侧翻。
