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

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

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...
