How high was the echo-top?

[dawg3277]

legend , before someone says anything silly , please explain in the info that the damage was EF5 damage , with windspeeds to 205 miles per hour .. Before some cola nut comes in here and says " It was rated by windspeed. " PLEASE lol

[eddieisfiction]

@dawg3277 just look up parkersburg tornado, you can see alot of evidence that it was easily EF5 damage. Most of the town was completely leveled.
