Kinetic Energy of Tornadoes in the United States. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Tornadoes can cause catastrophic destruction. Here total kinetic energy (TKE) as a metric of destruction is computed from the fraction of the tornado path experiencing various damage levels and a characteristic wind speed for each level.
