The strength of a tornado is determined by the damage it does to man-made structures and vegetation.
When a structure takes damage from a tornado, the degree of damage, the type of structure, and its quality of construction are used to estimate the strength of the winds that caused that damage. This is then used to sort the tornado into one of six intensity categories of the Enhanced Fujita Scale, ranging from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest.
The strength of a tornado is measured using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). The scale is based on the damage caused by the tornado, not the wind speed. A tornado's strength is determined by observing the damage to structures and trees in the affected area.
A tornado can lose its strength when it moves over cooler water or land, or if it encounters strong winds that disrupt its circulation. Additionally, if the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado weakens or dissipates, the tornado will also lose strength.
The strongest strength of a tornado is an EF5, with wind speeds over 200 mph, capable of causing catastrophic damage. The least strongest strength of a tornado is an EF0, with wind speeds between 65-85 mph, causing minor damage.
It is not impossible to measure the strength of a tornado. The Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale) is used to estimate tornado wind speeds based on damage. The rating is determined after the tornado has passed and damage surveys are conducted.
A large tornado is typically stronger than a small, skinny tornado. The size of a tornado is often an indication of its strength, with wider tornadoes usually having higher wind speeds and causing more damage. However, other factors such as wind speed, duration, and path can also affect a tornado's strength.

A typical tornado is probably a strong EF0 or EF1.
There is no basis for comparison between the two. An iceberg's "strength" is its mass and hardness. A tornado's strength is its wind speed.
The intensity of a tornado is estimated based on the severity of the damage it inflicts.
The strongest strength of a tornado is an EF5, with wind speeds over 200 mph, capable of causing catastrophic damage. The least strongest strength of a tornado is an EF0, with wind speeds between 65-85 mph, causing minor damage.
The scale for measuring the strength of a tornado is called the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale. It rates tornadoes based on the damage they cause and ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest).

The Hackleburg-Phil Campbell tornado of April 27, 2011 was rated EF5
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado. The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.

In terms of actual type, the tornado that hit near Taylor was probably a supercell tornado. In terms of strength, it was rated F2.
