  • Will the tornado that was in picher was an F4 some say that it might have been an F5 in some areas. I live here look it up on the computer the diff from F3 to F4 then tell me it was an F3 ok

  • well, according to the NWS damage survey team it was an F4, but the tornado looked to reach its maximum intensity east of Picher, but that is by appearence only and not by damage, which is really the only thing they can use to judge tornado strength...

  • Why is there so much traffic on a road impacted by such a severe storm? A mile off and that twister would be ON the road. You can't drive in that.

    Oh, and it's an EF4, not an F4.

  • Mrkev it was an f5. And I grew up in Joplin

  • I remember this tornado, horrible. we left right before it hit picher.

  • I live in neosho missouri and the F4 tornado hit just north of where i live. my grandparents got hit my it and nobody was hurt in my family.

  • @Persiamon That is very sad my good man. Hopefully everyone that knew him can find some peace of mind. Good luck my good man.

  • Ya, I would have to say it packed winds of 190 - 200 MPH, the highest wind peak of an EF4 tornado.

  • This video is haunting for me. A very good friend of mine was killed in this exact tornado. It's just... ugh.

  • was nothing left.not even another human in sight there was only a 1 min. warning for us. we lost everything.but survived.
