Pearson parameters edit
In 1973, Allen Pearson added additional path length and path width parameters to the scale. Under this version, each tornado would be assigned one Fujita scale rating and two Pearson scale ratings. For example a tornado rated F4 based on damage with a path length of 63 miles (101 km) and a path width of 800 yards (730 m) would be rated F,P,P 4,4,4. Use of the Pearson scales was not widespread, however, and it remained more common to simply list a tornado's path length and path width directly.[2]
