The system is designed to rate tornadoes and estimate wind speed based on the damage they cause based on a 0-5 rating system, which is still used today.

The pine trees would need 90 to 120 mile per hour wind. And the chimney would need 80 to 115 mile per hour winds. We can only estimate wind speed up to the destruction of an object.

The Beaufort Wind Force Scale measures wind speed and its observed effects on land and sea. Created by Sir Francis Beaufort, the scale ranges from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane).
