I noticed you called it a T2...

We use F 1-5 Fugiame or FooGeeAAMEE.... whatever scale
Yeah, we do use a different scale.

A low intensity tornado is known as a D-MIB - Standing for "Deary Me its breezy"
A medium intensity tornado is known as a 'slight inconvienience'
A high intensity, destructive tornado is known as a W-M-B-H-G - Or "Where's My Bloody Hat Gone"


Gotta love us Brits. Kings of understatement.
