F5 Tornado (190mph winds) as it passed north of us. It was 3/4 of a mile wide, tracked over 100 miles, and was utterly unreal...

  • Its more relational to the damage caused, than miles per hour, according to the fujita scale. A narrow high speed tornado can cause as much damage as a slower wind speed, yet wider in scale tornado. Its disportionate in my opinion because a wider tornado affects a wider area in scope, however a narrow long track tornado can affect equally as many people. I guess that's why it quantitavely measures the scale of damage, rather than numbers of people.. Who am I to question mother nature?¿?¿

  • i remeber this i was in the bathtub........

  • Just to let others know, the people on the tape wonder why the sirens were shut off. The outdoor warning sirens are only set to sound for a pre-determined period of time, usually two to two and a half minutes. Just because the sirens stop does not mean that the danger has passed. When sirens sound, take cover and never assume the danger is over until you hear either an all clear signal on the sirens, or an announcement on radios or television.

  • 190 MPH would put it in the EF-4 category, not EF-5.

  • Dude:

    Never, ever show a pic or vid of your wife/girlfriend as it would be impossible for her to match my "imagined" Hotness relative to her Sexy-Ass Voice, even if she is a 23 year old Brazilian bikini model. Really nice...

    Oh, and uh..... Pray for everybody ect ect

  • F5 tornadoes produce much faster winds than

    190 mph. Some of them, like this one shown

    here, close to 300 mph winds... this is why so many

    people died.

  • No this was very close to a town and rain rapped It was very bad and scary birds have no brains

  • cute 2001 sirens sounding at 750hz sawtooth tone. 

  • The birds didn't seem too worried, so you must've been far enough away.
