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 mphthis tornado
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 mph
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 MCS moved through north Texas causing significant damage to areas generally along and north of Interstate 20. Significant and widespread tree, fence and power line damage was reported along the path of the MCS. In addition, three tornadoes touched down in the northern portions of the DFW Metroplex. Approximately 250,000 people were left without power in the Metroplex and hundreds of flights were grounded or cancelled at DFW and DAL.
A retired NWS employee reported a brief touchdown on FM 1171 3 miles west of FM 2499.
The Villas at Waterchase apartment complex in Lewisville was hit by an EF-1 tornado. Sixteen units sustained some type of structural damage. Four chimneys were snapped off roofs on various buildings, a brick wall crumpled on one building and the roof of the same building was peeled back exposing the apartment homes.
An EF0 tornado in Hebron was video taped by a storm chaser. This tornado occurred in a field south of SH 121 behind the Best Buy. The tornado occurred along the leading edge of the MCS, but video evidence suggests it was not a gustnado.
From NOAA NCEI's Storm Events Database, the narrative the local forecast office wrote for Storm Data.

THE LATEST SPC MESOANAYSIS SHOWS THE CAP HAS JUST ABOUT LIFTED ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION AND SURFACE BASED CAPE REMAINS BETWEEN 2000 AND 3500 J/KG.

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.
