Weird-- I'm almost disappointed with that assessment! We were all expecting this one to break some kind of record in terms of estimated wind speed.

Taking into account that most EF-5 (not F5) tornadoes have been low end (within 10 mph from the EF5 baseline), it's not a surprise, it is?...even 215mph would be low end, i guess.

Probably 80-90 mph, maybe 100 mph-- no higher, or the surrounding structures, trees, and even the camera wouldn't have stayed intact. That's not to take away form the video, which is extremely cool.

P.S. It's weird for me to talk in mph. In the tropics we use knots, but I know that the severe crowd uses mph. "When in Rome...".

Yep, that was my estimate also...close to 80-85 kts. 150+mph and visibility would be close to zero, extremely difficult to film anything like that when rain is present
