    Devastating tornado strikes Joplin, Missouri

    in Weather Forecasting and Discussion

    Posted

    Winds up to 250 mph? Is that a finding from the official survey? If so, holy sh*t. This thing was literally off the charts.

    Since the Fujita scale was revised/enhanced and the wind values were made more reality-based, I never again expected to see a credible source suggesting wind speeds that high in a tornado. That is just nuts.

    The human tragedy aside, I am in complete awe of this event-- not only the intensity, but the speed of its development and the very short lifespan (for a tornado of this intensity). The whole thing is simply bizarre-- like a bomb went off.

    if true, the gusts must have been over 350 and THATS EPIC
