Jan 14, 2011 · 3,313. Location. St. Louis. Mar 24, 2024. #1. Did you know there was a large amount of *aerial* footage shot of the Tri-State tornado damage from what appears to be a biplane in Murphysboro and De Soto, Illinois? Some Greensburg- and Joplin-esque scenes. I hadn't seen this before.
Tri-State tornado damage still visible on Google Maps
Feb 22, 2019 · There is still a huge field the width and length of the Palm Sunday Tornado just behind my neighborhood in Toledo,OH. Should show up on Google Earth at Jackman Rd/Eleanor Ave right behind the intersection and behind the Miracle Mile Kroger is where it lifted before dropping back down and wiping out Point Place.
The EF Scale and Asphalt Scouring Caused by the March 2 …
Jul 2, 2004 · In his chase stats for 2012, fellow chaser Simon Brewer notes that the March 2 Henryville tornado caused " damage to a highway southwest of Henryville peeling and tossing large 6-10 inch thick slabs of asphalt, some weighing around 10,000 lbs, 30-50 meters creating large and deep impact craters." Because of the severity of the damage, Simon has ...
Tornadoes that should have been rated F5/EF5 - Stormtrack
Oct 14, 2015 · The aim of the science of using the (enhanced) Fujita scale to rate tornadoes is to estimate the wind speeds in the tornado by sampling damage produced by the tornado. The obvious issues with the EF scale include 1) there need to be sufficiently strong DIs as to bound the damage produced by the tornado, and 2) the tornado must actually impact DIs.
Radar-Sampled versus Damage-Estimated Wind Speeds in …
Oct 7, 2008 · Comparison of Tornado Damage Characteristics to Low-Altitude WSR-88D Radar Observations and Implications for Tornado Intensity Estimation Abstract Given the obvious difficulties in directly sampling tornadic wind fields, ongoing work continues to improve estimates of near-ground wind speeds in tornadoes.
5/21/24 Greenfield tornado rating - Stormtrack
Aug 19, 2005 · The (Enhanced) Fujita scale, while intended to be a tornado intensity scale, has always been used as a tornado damage scale instead. That's the reason why NWS refused to rate El Reno 2013 as EF5 despite the robust measurements of wind speeds a little above the ground that were way above the EF5 threshold.
Tornado Watch | Stormtrack
Aug 16, 2005 · Tornado Watch now being issued for Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. Doppler indicated tornado already being warned near MOB as we speak. Good directional shear looks to be producing nice low level rotation in the cells already coming onshore with the initial feeder bands. Plenty of...
Confirmed: Violent Tornadoes and Tornado Damage Are Decreasing
Feb 19, 2021 · There is a new, peer-reviewed paper out confirming what many of us have been saying for years: violent tornadoes and tornado damage are down as compared to 50, 70 or 90 years ago. The paper looks at data back to 1950.
Violent Tornado Parameter (VTP) - Stormtrack
May 18, 2013 · A new paper by Nick Hampshire (NWS EWX), Richard Mosier (SPC), Ted Ryan (NWS FWD), and Dennis Cavanaugh (NWS LZK) entitled "Relationship of Low-Level Instability and Tornado Damage Rating Based on Observed Soundings" has been published in the Journal of Operational Meteorology. It is an...
Tornado Siren book review - Stormtrack
Jan 13, 2004 · It is a fascinating and engaging book about a research scientist who studies tornado damage. While near Memphis, she discovers two sets of footprints that crossed a tornado damage path indicating that someone and their dog survived being engulfed by the funnel. A year later in Kansas, she finds similar footprints through the path of a tornado.
