The tornado had a gate-to-gate velocity reading of 260 MPH. Strong circulation could be detected up to 18,000 feet above ground level. Had this thing hit civilization it would have destroyed everything in its path. Thankfully it only damaged farmland. However, due to the way tornadoes are rated, this will only be an EF0/EF1.
So...why does the scale need to be changed?

He is saying the rating is based solely on damage not strength.
It would like a hurricane is cat 5 but gets rated as a cat 1 if it does no damage.
They really need 2 scales. Damage scale and strength scale.
Here’s another pic of it
