Berthoud Tornado Classified EF3

News Link
A rare occurrence.  Tornadoes are classified much like hurricanes on a scale of 0 to 5 but the wind speeds are not measured directly.  A team of NOAA experts surveys the area of tornado touchdown immediately afterward and estimates wind speed from building and tree damage. EF3 is the strongest tornado that has been observed in Colorado with only 21 tornadoes that strong recorded since 1950 prior to this one.
