An EF4 tornado is the second most intense tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. An EF4 will have wind speeds between 116 and 200 mph (267 and 322 km/h). The damage from an EF4 tornado will be devastating. On the now retired Fujita Scale, the tornado damage scale that the Enhanced F...
The NTP’s ground crew conducted apreliminary surveyof the damage and found evidence consistent with maximum winds of 275 km/h, making the tornado an EF4 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. Expertsuse the EF-Scaleto estimate a tornado’s wind speeds based on...
TheEnhanced Fujita Scaleis used to assign a tornado a rating based on the estimated wind speeds during the incident and the damage caused by it. The EF Scale became operational in 2007 and was revised from the original Fujita Scale, the NWS said. When weather officials survey tor...
It struck 8.6 miles northeast of Gladwin at 4:05 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. The tornado reached peak wind speeds of 90 mph. It spent 22 minutes on the ground, starting near Lake Lancer and ending in the East Branch area of the Tittabawassee River. Offic...
With f/11 shutter speeds landing in the 1/15 to 1/30 range, higher ISO settings are needed for motion-free images. IS can allow these images to be captured at ISO 100, giving you the cleanest, sharpest images possible in those times where a tripod is not practical. ...
winds in this area. The tornado tracked towards Hamden with tree and structural damage indicative of 70 to 80 mph. When the tornado moved across the town center of Hamden, extensive damage to buildings occurred. Wind speeds were estimated to be around 100 mph based on the damage to buildings...
These results imply that stubbed and debarked trees are more indicative of EF-4 and EF-5 winds rather than EF-2 and EF-3 winds, supporting the conventional wisdom that this type of damage is indicative of extremely high wind speeds.Chris J. Peterson...
( 100 miles perhour ) . The strongest tornadoes , sometimes called super tornadoes , have wind speeds of 402kph to more than 482 kph ( 250-300 mph )A super tornado destroys everything in its path . Less than two percent of all tornadoes have winds of more than...
Tornadoes , which have the strongest winds on Earth , have wind speeds that may reach 322 to 480 kilometers per hour ( 200-300mph ) . Tornadoes rarely last more than thirty minutes , but they can do great damage . They can flatten buildings , pick...
The department's latest wildfire mitigation plan shows it lacks other fire-risk reduction strategies commonly used by other utility companies in California. For example, unlike its neighboring utilities, it has not established a network of cameras and weather stations to monitor wind speeds and other...
