I would also believe there is a correlation, though evidently using the height of lofted debris is a very hit-or-miss way to rate tornadoes.From what I heard from a guy on Twitter he said debris from the Newnan tornado was lofted over 15,000 feet into the air and that would be consistent with an EF3 tornado. However, of course Newnan was rated an EF4. I am not sure how debris being lofted into the air necessarily has anything to do with the intensity but I would think there would be at least some correlation.
