  • On April 26, an EF3 tornado with 160 mph winds tore a 40.9 mile path through southwest Iowa. The multi-vortex tornado was nearly a mile wide at times, and killed one man. Meteorologist Matthew Cappucci tracked the tornado for nearly 20 miles along its path.

    This thing at its peak strength was an EF5, but didn’t hit anything at that time to confirm it. The Weather Channel was saying it had peak wind radar velocities near 270 mph.

      It didn't have to hit anything, as long as those winds were 270 mph then it was an F5 and first one in 11 years.

      @@cs77smith67 hate to break it to you but there have been many tornadoes since the Moore EF5 that have hit windspeeds higher than 200mph. This isn't the first, and just like those ones it was not an EF5. Tornadoes are rated based on their impact, not their windspeed.

      @@xraze6906 The scale isn't broken. If a tornado has no impact, there's no reason to rate it based on windspeed. The Fujita Scale is a measure of impact on infrastructure. It's a halfway point between structural engineering and wind estimates. That's why even in an EF5, you get the estimated windspeed required to do the damage recorded, not the actual recorded windspeed of the tornado. Also, there's no way to measure the wind of a tornado at the actual ground level. The Greenville tornado had winds of 309-318mph but those winds didn't translate to ground level, and as a result the tornado only did EF4 damage despite that wind recording happening while the tornado was impacting buildings.
      The scale isn't broken, you just don't understand it or its purpose.

      It's moreso that the tornadic windfield of the multivortex was at maximum ~1 mile wide (0.97 miles at maximum width). He caught it at a quarter mile while just as it hit tenant right before Harlan, when it wedged out and became a mile wide.

      Iowa has good homeless people. I've know a homeless man for 20 years. Hes 72 years old and spends every single day outside. Temperatures range from 100 to -22 degrees. I've learned a lot from that man! He's more involved into the community than I am. Every weekday he rides his bike over to the community center and helps set up the food donations each and every day. The most astonishing thing is that hes homeless and doesn't ask for anything from anyone! He's self efficient and takes care of himself.

      There's a difference between junkies and homeless people. We don't have many junkies around Iowa causing problems like you may be experiencing in CA (leaving needles in public restrooms, etc). Mainly, it's people, often veterans, with mental health issues and those who tried, but are down on their luck in life and can't get back on their own two feet without some help. Either way, the homeless here don't really cause problems and it's too bad there isn't more we can do to help them.
