Tornadobrah89 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 This was one of the most spectacular aND eerie looking tornadoes ever caught on video imo. But what was it rates and what do you think the wind speeds were in it? I heard it was an f2 but also heard it was a landspout tornado. Looked to me like a legit ef4 tornado 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornadobrah89 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 This is what you are talking about, right?Yeah. Apparently it was rated f2 it looks like your typical f4 stovepipe though. It's hard to tell how violent or big it is in the video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaster220 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Wow. That thing does look scary. Must've been some really dark soil to cause such blackness - like a cloud rising from a petroleum blaze or tire fire! Sheesh. And yes, you can tell it's large by comparison of trees at that distance. Ratings are subjective out in the open due to lack of structure damage to "rate" a twister by. 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh. And yes, you can tell it's large by comparison of trees at that distance. Ratings are subjective out in the open due to lack of structure damage to "rate" a twister by.It looks a tad smaller than the andover tornado which was an f5. The tornado doesn't look that violent but it's massive and very tall. I'd imagine it would have to have some serious winds to lift that debris so far up. You can't even see the base of the cloud because it's so tall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireAnderson Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 The tornadoes cause damage where ever it appears. Last week a tornado hit south-central and north-central Kansas. The tornado damaged a lot of property, houses and overturned cars around its path. Kansas, rated the tornado as an EF4 with estimated peak winds of 180 mph. 1 Quote Claire Anderson http://www.weathermate.net San Francisco, CA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
