I was in 2nd grade when this happened, and I wasn't so much scared for myself as I was for my mom and little brother ( then not yet in school ) who were at home. I later discovered I had every right to worry. The tornado was about a half mile or so behind our house coming in our direction when it dissipated. Had it been on the ground another 5 minutes I would not have had a house to come home to that day...
omg was it really four years ago holy crap i was in fith grade and was freaking out the tornado hit right down the road from my house luckily i was in school scared half to death
It's my understanding that an F-5 is absolute destruction, leveling everything in its direct path leaving vertually nothing. When you see an arial photo of a neighborhood with nothing but foundations and nothing else, (no debris, nothing), thats an F-5 for all intents and purposes. Regardless of the twisters width ot size. It's all based on windspeed in the vortex.
Winds were measured at 257-268 mph (414-431 km/h) using portable doppler radar in the Red Rock Tornado during the Andover, Kansas Tornado Outbreak. Though these winds are possibly indicative of an F5 strength tornado, this particular tornado's path never encountered any significant structures and caused minimal damage. Thus it was rated an F4.
In this video, they measured it to be an EF3 and an EF4 in parts closest to Vol State College. You can look up the tornado's path and Fujita ratings on google.
The Enhanced Fujita Scale, or EF Scale, is the scale for rating the strength of tornadoes in the United States estimated via the damage they cause.
It has nothing to do with how wide it is, and the wind speeds are estimated. For an EF-4 winds would be between166-200mph. Greater than 200 MPH winds would be an EF-5, not an F-4.
A simple google search would solve this "argument". Facts are facts.
Hey there Godlovesmormons,first of all, god loves everyone, not just Mormons, and seccond of all...before you open your mouth, learn your facts there. The Gallatin Tornado was rated a STRONG EF 3 with winds of 136 to 165MPH.The Fujita scale is no longer rated as (F) its now (EF) as in Enhanced Fujita scale..If the Tornado your looking at in the Video had winds of 230MPH it would of been rated an EF5 and it would of been on the higher end.clearly your way behind on your Tornado Information
was anyone speaking to you? No, so return the favor. I used to live in Tennessee and I have a lot of knowledge of tornadoes. The tornado in this video is not an F 4, because an F4 would be 3/4 miles in diameter or more. I lived in Texas and Oklahoma too... Tornadoes are an old buddy of mine..
Not exactly, a Tornado doesn't have to be 3\4 mile wide to be an EF4, for someone who is old buddy's with Tornados, you don't have good knowledge what so ever! It all depends on how fast the Tornado spins, it could be 1 mile wide and only be an EF2 or 3......look at the Great Bend Kansas Tornado, it was ONLY an EF1 and it was 1\2 mile wide.....Dont argue with me, your gonna loose.
I already won, and I'll argue with whomever I please.. ever lived through a tornado? Ever seen one up close? Ever seen one that destroyed half your town? The F3 that hit Nashville Tn. in 1998 was bigger that the F4 in this video. I think people must just be assigning F's without any real knowledge of the scale... kind of like you for instance. I know God loves everyone, so try watching my vids before judging me.
Actually yes, I lived threw an EF5 Tornado that hit my town when i was only 7 years old, in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, we lost our house and cars, along with everyone else who lost there possessions, Then again, when i moved to FT worth Texas, i was in another Tornado in 2000. And the people who are assigning the EF ratting to Tornados are Professionals
im 100% sure they know what there talking about...A Tornado is measured on how much it destroys, not how big it is. The Tornado that hit Attica Kansas was a mile wide and ONLY an EF2...seriously, u might have been in a Tornado, but you don't know your facts.
so, you are saying that a tornado measuring only 10 feet in circumference could be an F5? I was correct, an F5 is bigger than an F4 and so on down the line. The damage quotient is a factor, yes, but not the only one. Size is a relative outcome to speed and intensity, so I was correct in what I said. The tornado in this video is too small to be an F4
you are wrong if this was in a downtown area and destroyed a bunch of shit the size has no factor on how DEVASTATING the tornado itself truly is size is jack shit your stupid
I was at station camp too. We where on a feild trip with Ms. Cambel and the tornado followed us down Saundersville Rd. we ran into the building and as soon as we got in the power went out and everyone hit the floor.
omg im from gallatin and that tornado scared the shit out of me it almost got near my neighborhood but they put on sirens before the tornado started then everything got quiet it was so scary
look people, its hard to hear tornado sirens if you are indoors. they are meant to alert people who are outside. the best thing to do is to buy a NOAA weather radio with an alarm for your home or business.
Actually, the sirens that we have in Nashville TN are made for people inside, and out. The sirens pierce my ears from inside my house...It's almost shrill...We had tornads today actually, and I hear GALLATINS sirens (I live in Bellevue/Pegram area)
I was in school at the time and it touched down right beside my school. They never did give us any tornado sirens the only thing we had was people tellin us to get on the ground and stay quite. It killed 13 people in my area and almost killed my daddy we were all just lucky. Now if the Tornado hit us at night there would have been a lot more dead. At least I get to see the Tornado as my dad described it.

that is no F4 tornado, it is a strong 2 or a weak 3 at best. An F4 is about 3/4 mile around and spins at about 230 MPH
