Although it's mentioned by any character, a tornado is measured by its destructive force with the Fujita's Scale. It was named after Tetsuya Fujita, who in 1971 in collaboration with Allan Pearson created a scale to differentiate a twister according the wind speed:F0: 60-117 km/h or 45-72 mph (light damage).
F1: 117-181 km/h or 73-112 mph (moderate damage).

Tornado - Der Zorn des Himmels is a 3 hour long TV movie that goes as follows. After a heat wave, devastating hail storm, and a dead farmer, the local police are left mystified, however, these are warning signs for experienced Meteorologist January Berger who predicts that a twister will strike Berlin.
Under the name of F4 Vortex on the U.S. DVD release, this German film is very impressive, the visuals are top notch, the pacing is strong enough to keep you watching without losing interest, and the suspense will have you guessing on what will happen next.
This is definitely one of the better tornado films out there, I feel it's overlooked due to a lack of proper feedback, this movie deserves to be seen because of its professionalism for a TV movie.
