@85boogking He's been harassing me for the past couple of weeks. He's been using the infamous "short bus" insult against me. He doesn't hurt me, but apparently blocking and ignoring him doesn't get him to shut up. He keeps spamming the comment pages on the same two tornado videos trying to give me a bad reputation, and insult the victims of recent tornadoes. He doesn't hurt me or manipulate me in any way. He's just a stupid retarded little kid trying to instigate a fight.

@ps3or360idontknow Wrong! The Tri-State tornado occurred all the way back in 1925 and it wasn't even photographed, let alone its winds recorded by a DOW radar, which didn't exist in 1925, nor did that exist in 1974. The wind speed in the May 3, 1999 tornado was measured by the Doppler On Wheels radar at 318, 32 meters above the ground, adjusted to 301 mph at ground level. Xenia, Ohio WAS an F5 in 1974. I am a weather enthusiast (as you can tell by my username) and I know my weather facts!

[ps3or360idontknow]

@ILovestorms the tri state was recorded. the xenia ohio was an f4. the tri state was in the mid 200mph and the xenia ohio well was also in the mid 200mph.

@ps3or360idontknow Fine. I'm not saying that this (5/3/1999) F5 tornado did not have the fastest wind speed ever recorded on earth but I am not sure it was the strongest. Strongest ever recorded, yes, but there are many other F5 tornadoes that rival this one that may have had stronger winds, just not winds that were recorded. Tri-State, 1925, Xenia, Ohio, April 3, 1974 (Super Outbreak), among some.

@dino73112 imagine what would happen if we placed this tornado in new york city going all over the damn island

[ps3or360idontknow]

@ILovestorms thats what i just said. i said "THIS" tornado is the strongest and has the fastest wind speed ever recorded on earth and then i said its not the largest outbreak.

@ps3or360idontknow The April 27 outbreak in the south surpassed this tornado as the costliest outbreak in U.S. history, just like Katrina surpassed Andrew as the costliest hurricane in U.S. history.

Also, the May 3, 1999 infamous outbreak in Oklahoma and Kansas killed between 40 and 50 people, while the April 26-28 outbreak killed 350! The Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011 also killed more than this tornado outbreak on 5-3-99.
