Just thought the readers might get a chuckle out of this post shared by
the author:
A new tornado scale inspired by the movie
"twister" by Joseph D'Aleo, Chief of
WSI/INTELLICast Meteorology.
One of the more memorable highlights of the
movie "Twister" was the flying cow. That
scene inspires a new scale* for measuring
tornadoes . . . the MOO-jita Scale.
*(editor's note: tornadoes are rated on the Fujita scale according to
intensity/force)
M0 - Cows in an open field are spun around
parallel to the wind flow and become mildly
annoyed.
M1 - Cows are tipped over and "can't get
up".
M2 - Cows begin rolling in the wind.
M3 - Cows tumble and bounce.
M4 - Cows are airborne.
M5 - Steak!
