    • @magellan6108
      @magellan6108 Před 2 lety

      Yeah, the EF scale (enhanced Fufita) is different from the older F scale (Fujita). The EF scale takes into account wind speed, damage to structures and the landscape amongst a few other factors. This one really did begin as an EF-0, but later it ramped up to something much, much more significant. Check Pecos Hank's channel. He is a storm chaser, extraordinaire.

    Incredible close up footage. LP, you can see the ground scouring by that drill bit, the broken trees, the debris cloud. The rotation on that thing is nuts. It's so beautiful. So dangerous, but so beautiful. I'm glad this tornado behaved itself by showing off its stuff in the middle of a field. It avoided the farmhouse, let you get close enough to pet it, and even checked the mail. Very well behaved. This is a perfect tornado that didn't seem to want to destroy any homes or hurt anyone. It just wanted to show off how awesome it is to the chasers so they could get its good side. :)
