alright, this tornado is an interesting one, I believe the reason why it was so black was because of the field it was rotating through. It picked up the dirt which Kansas is famous for dark dirt and that's what caused the tornado to be so black.
so this is what a Kansas tornado looks like. Since I watched Wizard of Oz, I thought they were all thin as an F1 and looked like a cardboard cut out half the time
@2008FORDF450V8 It's a common misconception to believe wind speed is what makes it on the Fujita Scale or the "Enhanced" bullshit they are pushing down our throats now. That is considered an F1 from what we can see simply because it hasn't caused any damage. It's damage that causes a tornado to get classified.
@2008FORDF450V8 Some people have, some people haven't. It's not uncommon to land almost half a mile to 2 miles from where you were picked up. From how the dirt looks not getting unsettled too much... you'd most likely get peppered in the face hardcore w/ dirt and rocks. :^\ That would suck.
@smellycatpoop This is true, depends on the hemisphere though, this is dust devil in my eyes. And people have a tendency to flip the image of videos which it allows them to call the work their own. That's why if you go to watch an episode of Family Guy, for example, you'll most likely see at the bottom of the screen and see that FOX looks like XOF.
@GDF333 um, it is wind speed that determines the tornado's rating. there have been tornadoes that did no damage to any structures and have been rated EF-4 based on tree damage alone.
i lived where the tornado was when i was 7 it was in a field by my house it was in belle plaine kansas. it pulled down the back fence and a telephone pole was hit by a neighbor's shed roof which caused the fence to fall.
hehe... Even that I am Brazilian and doesn't know too much things of USA, I know that Kansas may be one of the USA federal units where Tornado Alley is located.
@64Albere Most of the Tornadoes are formed on the south west side of the Thunderstorm as the storm is moving away or dissipating. It's not unusual to see the sun shining with blue sky's. Pretty cool stuff though.
@64Albere You didn't notice the black cloud above the tornado before the camera was zoomed in on it. Tornadoes happen very often at the edge of thunderstorms, reason you can see sunlight or blue skies if the camera angle is right. I have videoed several tornadoes right on the edge of supercell storms. Most of the time you will see a yellow or orange sky where the sun is peering through, but the LP storms like this one will let you see blue skies behind the tornado if the angle is right
@gamefreak1000000 It's just as dangerous as any other tornado. You're seeing all that sun because the cloud bases are a littler higher than they usually are with supercell tornado environments.
@gamefreak1000000 "Oh man that tornado may be a quarter mile wide and really huge but ehh it won't scoop me up n toss me a few hundred yards where I smash into the ground n' die instantly. Nooo it wouldn't do that just because it's sunny. Sunshine makes everything safe." -_-
@MyKyndra It would have been an F3 (had it hit a town or city). Winds were estimated around 190 mph. Remember, the Fujita scale is based on damage, not how big a tornado is.
He's right I saw it on a program its only a f1 nowhere near a f5 that tornado is only 110 mph a f5 is about 310 mph so there's no way that that's a f5 just look at the background
I read where it was only rated F1 because it did not hit any structures and the NWS rates tornados by the damage done. If a tornado does no damage the NWS will rate it a F0 or F1. This film is slowed down so it is hard to determine the rotation velocity but I believe it could have been rated on the high end of the scale.
Okay, I will say this much, the tornado was strong above ground level. At about 900 feet above ground, the tornado had winds of 190 MPH. However, these winds did not reach the ground. At ground level, winds were around 112 MPH. Oh, and this footage is not slowed down. It just appears slower because cameras in the 70's couldn't take videos at higher frame rates.
Where are you getting your information about 190 & 112 ? This is from the 70's. They did not have the ability to measure winds speeds in the field , at ground level or any other level. My point about the rotation, the video does not give the tornado justice regarding the rotation. This at one time was probably the most impressive tornado video out there. I'm sure this could easily be F3 to F5.
I'm getting my information from "The Encyclopedia of Significant Tornadoes" In that book, the wind speeds were measured in the 70's using debris tracking. Scientists used video to track cloud tags on the tornado funnel itself. Then by measuring the distance over time, the could determine the speed of rotation. This practice is still used today. They used debris tracking to measure the winds in this tornado.
If the camera's in the 70's did not have high frame resolution (as you pointed out) then the time factor and calculations on this specific video were inadequate . IMHO.
