That ending was very fitting for the El Reno tornado and gave me chills as someone that was there and survived that thing.

[@jg5001]

​@@dontmessageme5579 Tim Samaras was one of the most prolific chasers, notable for being one of the safest chasers in the job. He's the one that invented and deployed tornado measurement tools such as the orange 'Turtles' to gather as much info on the storms and study patterns for better warning times and increase insight on how the storms produce unique events. Unfortunately the El Reno tornado was way too unpredictable that made almost all chasers flee the area as fast as possible. Tim and the Twistex team made a costly decision to continue down the road they were on before being killed by a fast moving rain-wrapped subvortex.

LORD OF TORNADOES THE EL RENO

[@texastrill5473]

I’m sure this has been stated already many times I didn’t look. Tornados are categorized by the damage they produce and a higher EF rating doesn’t mean a more powerful tornado. There have been very powerful tornados that only garnered an EF 2 or 3 rating because no urban environments or suburban areas were hit. Only farmland or uninhabited areas. There have been relatively weak tornados that have gotten EF3 ratings because of the populated areas in which they hit. Hurricanes are classified according to wind speed tornados are not. However much of the time an EF3-5 will almost always be a significant tornado with very high wind speeds. Because the way the destruction is calculated takes a specific force and subsequently a specific known windowed to accomplish. An EF1 tornado simply won’t be able to wipe a house (modern coded structure) off its foundation like it was never there. Nor do they possess the wind speed capable of stripping trees completely bare of their bark. So in a very large way, the EF scale does have quite a bit to do with wind speed. It is just not directly applied. Mostly because no one has accurate readings from within the core of these violent high wind speed tornados. So we simply don’t know.

things about this that are incorrect 1. Tornadoes are measured by width, not height. 2.
