The "dead man walking" simply refers to the individual vortices inside the main funnel which Dr. Fujita called "suction vortices." For a picture of this phenomenon in the Jarrell tornado, simply Google "dead man walking tornado"....

@YankHoe The extreme damage was due to the fact that it was only moving at 8 mph. As Tim Marshall said, it was "over any given space for about three minutes". Although it's possible, I doubt that it exceeded the May 3, 1999 tornado in terms of sheer wind speed.

@AJTwister97 Actually I think the Jarrell tornado was over any given point for about THREE minutes! At least I think that's what Tim Marshall said.

This tornado was so powerful, it ripped asphalt from the roads and sucked grass out of the ground. I believe that 27 people were killed, some in very gruesome ways. Body parts were discovered hundreds of yards from where their neighborhood once stood. It is a testimony to the human spirit that the folks of Jarrell were able to pull through this.
