The rating scale
Tracks are drawn in the color of the rating. The Enhanced Fujita scale rates the damage rather than measuring the wind: the speeds are what that damage is taken to imply.
EF065 to 85 mph
Light damage. Surface peeled off some roofs, gutters and siding damaged, branches broken, shallow-rooted trees pushed over.
EF186 to 110 mph
Moderate damage. Roofs badly stripped, mobile homes overturned or badly damaged, exterior doors lost, windows broken.
EF2111 to 135 mph
Considerable damage. Roofs torn off well-built houses, frame homes shifted on their foundations, mobile homes destroyed, large trees snapped or uprooted, cars lifted off the ground.
EF3136 to 165 mphthis tornado
Severe damage. Whole stories of well-built houses destroyed, large buildings badly damaged, trains overturned, trees debarked, heavy cars lifted and thrown.
EF4166 to 200 mph
Devastating damage. Well-built houses leveled, structures with weak foundations moved some distance, cars thrown and large missiles generated.
EF5over 200 mph
Incredible damage. Strong frame houses swept off their foundations, car-sized missiles thrown more than 100 meters, steel-reinforced concrete badly damaged, high-rise buildings deformed.
Unrated
The survey recorded a tornado but could not put a number on it, most often because it crossed open country and damaged nothing a rating can be read from.

What the Weather Service recorded
An upper level disturbance slowly approached the Mid-South during the evening of April 30th, 2010 as a cold front became stationary to the west. This pattern remained in place through the evening hours of May 2nd, 2010. South to southwest winds pumped warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and created a very unstable atmosphere. Showers and thunderstorms developed in association with the front during the early evening hours and moved east into Eastern Arkansas shortly before midnight. Additional thunderstorms occurred in association with the upper level disturbance. Due to the unstable atmosphere, thunderstorms quickly became severe producing large hail, damaging winds, and flash flooding. The severe weather evolved into an outbreak by May 1st and 2nd. Historic rainfall and flash flooding in addition to large hail and damaging winds occurred during the early morning hours of May 1st with several tornadoes occurring during the afternoon hours of May 1st to early morning hours of May 2nd.

Eleven homes and mobile homes were destroyed with six receiving major damage. Twenty-three homes sustained minor damage. Numerous trees were snapped and debarked along the path. Power lines were also knocked down. A free standing transmission tower collapsed and was severely twisted as well. Two deaths and one critical injury occurred when a double wide mobile home was destroyed just east of Ashland. Four additional injuries, three of them critical, occurred when a mobile home was picked up by the tornado.
A tornado tracked northeast into Tippah County from Benton County. The tornado continued northeast crossing into Hardeman County, Tennessee.

A tornado touched down near the intersection of Sulphur Springs Road and Steadman Road, southwest of Selmer, and tracked northeast.

TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT
FLASH FLOODING...WSR-88D STORM TOTAL PRECIPITATION AND RAIN GAUGES
SHOW A BROAD AREA IN EXCESS OF SEVEN INCHES OF RAIN FROM EAST CENTRAL
AR TO SOUTHWEST TN SINCE LAST NIGHT. A SMALLER AREA FROM NORTHERN
SHELBY COUNTY TO HAYWOOD COUNTY HAS RECEIVED BETWEEN 10 AND 13
INCHES OF RAINFALL DURING THIS TIME PERIOD.

MOST OF THE CWA THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. AN H5 DISTURBANCE IS GENERATING
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN TN AND NORTHERN MS
AS OF 3 PM. RECEIVED MULTIPLE TORNADO REPORTS ACROSS NORTHEAST MS.
THERE MAY BE A BRIEF LULL BEFORE A STRONGER H5 SHORTWAVE AND
ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVE INTO THE AREA TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY MORNING. THIS FORCING WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER
60S TO MID 70S RAISES THE POTENTIAL OF SIGNIFICANT TORNADOES. CAPE
VALUES WILL BE BETWEEN 1500-2500 J/KG.
THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER ON SUNDAY AS THE SURFACE
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. WILL SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS

A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. MUCH COOLER AIR IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE INTO THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY WITH CANADIAN HIGH

What this means
Ratings are the survey's, read off the damage rather than measured; the rating scale is above. Tornado counts rise through the record as reporting improved, so a year in the 1950s is not comparable with one today except for the strongest tornadoes, which were always noticed.
