The Fujita Scale Defined
Their Version:
Used to rate the intensity of a tornado by examining the damage caused by the tornado after
it has passed over a man-made structure.
Our Version:
In the case of the Mercury Twister line of snowmobiles, this same scale is used to rate the intensity of a twister by
examining the damage caused after it has passed over a phenomenom created by Mother Nature, snow.

Before
After
This image was taken a couple seconds before the "After" shot. Apparently her memories of racing the Mini-Twister were still strongly embedded as she neglected to let off the throttle with the bigger sled. Her comment after getting off the track was, "Where is the next race?".
