I just noticed if you look to the right of the White building at 14 seconds you can see what looks like a car being tossed hundreds of feet in the air. Think how heavy the car is sitting in your driveway right now and it gives you an idea how strong this storm actually was.
I wonder if the big wig Tornado Researchers in the U.S studied this footage..Getting EF5 Damage on video where you can actually see the size and type of debris being thrown is extremely rare. This french guy that shot this has better footage then anyone else I have seen on line.. I'm sure it's been done by now but this should be sent to the National Severe Storms Lab. in Norman,OK
DeadlyRamon, that is a great point. Don't get me wrong, there have been some huge funnels that were also catestrophically strong (think Joplin, MO). A lot of times the larger funnels are on the weaker side. People need to remember that a tornado is only a tiny part of the entire cloud's structure. And yes, those suction vortices are nasty.
The NYC tornado of 2010 is a great example. It was something like a half mile wide and barely registered at F0.
A lot of people think that the larger the tornado, the stronger. This often isn't the case. In a thinner tornado you have a large cloud's circulation being concentrated into a very small space. Think about it like this.. Tie a ball to a string and tie the end of the string to your finger. Allow the ball to travel in a circle. The closer to your finger it gets, the faster it spins. The area of circulation also gets smaller the closer the ball gets to your finger.
@AzzarClarKyy95 It's not the huge half mile wide funnels that are the problem, it's their multiple vorticies that comprise the edge of each funnel. Those are savage!
