EF5s destroy well built homes and sweep their concrete foundations clean of debris. Cars are mangled and tossed hundreds, possibly thousands of meters away. But what exactly does a tornado have to do to earn the most powerful EF5 rating? or an F5 rating? What’s the difference?
In over 20 years of chasing tornadoes I’ve documented at least 8 EF4 tornadoes, but only one EF5. As of the date of this video the last EF5 tornado occurred in Moore Oklahoma on May 20th, 2013. Over 9 years ago. So where have all the EF5’s gone?
BRIEF HISTORY of the FUJITA SCALE (F-scale)
If a strong tornado strikes an instrument that measures wind speeds, The anemometer will likely be blown to smithereens long before it was able to measure and record how fast the strongest winds were. But, If we found the crumbled anemometer a mile away, scientists and engineers can make estimates of what wind velocities might do such a thing.
In 1971 Dr. Ted Fujita developed a method to rate the intensity of tornadoes based on surveys of ground damage. The Fujita Scale has 6 intensity categories from the lightest damage F0 to the incredible F5. With wind estimates from 261-318 mph (419 - 512 km/h), EF5s are powerful enough to throw cars hundreds, possibly thousands of meters and completely sweep away brick homes.
[But the Fujita scale was very limiting with only general descriptions and no account for construction quality. Also, the wind speed estimates
was later deemed by meteorologists and engineers as being too high. For example, a 261 mph wind speed is NOT required to completely destroy a well constructed house and blow away the debris. This damage occurs at significantly lower wind speeds than previously thought.
THE EF SCALE
Revision or enhancement of the Fujita Scale was needed. In 2007 operational use of the ENHANCED Fujita scale began in the United states.
The EF scale has a more accurate estimation of damaging wind speeds.
and has 28 damage indicators all with respective Degrees of damage. The old scale lists an F5 tornado with winds of 261-318 mph (420-512 km/h),
The new scale lists an EF5 with winds above 200 mph (322 km/h),
This is found to be sufficient to cause the damage previously ascribed to the F5 range of wind speeds.
NOAA DAMAGE ASSESMENT TOOLKIT
The NOAA damage assessment toolkit has a tremendous amount of information with detailed photos and assessments of damage citing why a tornado received the rating it did. It’s fascinating to explore, and available to the public. Here's that link...
apps.dat.noaa.gov/stormdamage...
TOP 3 MOST POWERFUL TORNADOES EVER MEASURED
#1: The May 3, 1999 Bridge Creek-Moore Oklahoma F5...
This tornado destroyed thousands of homes and businesses, killing 36. and is cited as the highest winds ever measured on earth with mobile Doppler radar velocity measurements of roughly 302 mph.
#2: May 31, 2013 El Reno EF3...
In addition to being the widest tornado ever recorded El Reno 2013 is also a contender for the highest winds measured on Earth with similar radar-measured velocities of 302 mph, but these were in orbiting subvortices moving extremely rapidly, whereas the May 3, 1999 Doppler readings were slicing the main vortex where peak velocities weren’t as transient
As in the 2013 El Reno tornado.
#3: The May 24, 2011 El Reno EF5 with most likely max wind speeds at 295 mph. I actually recorded The moments when University of Oklahoma's RaXpol radar was getting that data.
EF5s and F5s make up only .1% of rated tornadoes in the US. Between 1950 and 2007, 50 tornadoes were officially rated F5 and since February 2007, only nine tornadoes have been officially rated EF5.
F5 TORNADOES OUTSIDE THE USA:
CANADA has had one F5...
- June 22, 2007, F5 Elie Manitoba (EC)
FRANCE has had 2 F5s...
- Aug 19, 1845 Montville
- June 24, 1967. Palluel
GERMANY has had two F5s..
- June 29, 1764 Woldegk
- Apr 23, 1800 Hainichen
ITALY has had at least one F5...
- Jul 24, 1930 Treviso, Udine
And RUSSIA had one F5.
- Jun 9, 1984 Ivano, Lunevo

Fun fact: In the same year that the Enhanced Fujita scale was released, Greensburg, Kansas, suffered from a massive tornado, wiping roughly 90% of the town off the map. That tornado received the very first EF-5 rating that year. The tornado was measured at 1.7 miles in diameter, wider than the town of Greensburg, with 205 mph winds, measured by the Doppler radar.

@Token_Nerd Год назад

The one thing that I personally think is to the detriment of the EF scale specifically, is that relying solely on structural engineering damage indicators (and I say this as a structural engineer) means that we're not truly quantifying whether tornadoes are getting stronger or not, since high ratings are largely contingent on tornadoes hitting heavily populated areas. Perhaps it's time we move towards a 2-scale system for rating tornadoes - the Fujita scale family which measures tornadoes based on damage indicators and structural analysis, and a new scale which solely measures wind speed or energy exerted (Basically the integral of wind speed (force) over the entire length of the tornado), similar to how earthquakes are measured (there are 2 scales there).

@michaelkaicher9569 Год назад

I've never taken a detailed look at how EF ratings are calculated, but speaking as a civil engineer, I completely agree. Ratings should be based on information available for ALL tornadoes. I think radarr velocity measurements would be a step in the right direction! Edit: Also, the integral of wind speed and path length wouldn't provide any information about how a particular tornado changes throughput its lifespan. You could have relatively unchanging EF1s that travel 20+ miles expend the same energy of a shortlived EF5. Perhaps wind speed and diameter? Granted, that would be far more difficult to measure.

@Token_Nerd Год назад

@@michaelkaicher9569 the point would be to take into consideration the total energy exerted along the entire path. An EF1 on the ground for 3 hrs causes more chaos than an EF1 on the ground for 5 minutes, and may even cause more damage than an EF2 on the ground for some set of time. It’s just a way of normalizing all available data if available. Earthquakes estimate the energy released at a fault, such a suggestion would do the same, but it’s not the only option. It may be more valuable to use the average or peak wind speed to classify tornadoes. Of course, there are better people out there who could determine what’s actually most useful.

@aralornwolf3140 Год назад

@@michaelkaicher9569 , Canada's lone EF5 was a narrow, meandering, tornado. Every time it did a loop it intensified briefly... Originally, it was going to be rated as an EF4, as the house which had its foundation swept clean was impacted as the tornado did a slow loop, so they thought it was only swept clean due to the amount of time the EF4 winds had to clear it. That was, until a video surfaced of the tornado ripping the house completely off its foundation before the house disintegrated while aloft... The width of the tornado was, maybe, a few dozen meters. It was that narrow while also being that powerful.

Hi Pecos! You mentioned a Russian tornado. It was really a significant outbreak. It's called 1984 Soviet Union tornado outbreak. There were at least 11 tornadoes. Max wind speed was 260 mph (418 km/h). So, several F4's over cities of Moscow, Ivanovo, Kostroma and so on. About 400 fatalities (but nowadays we know it is lowered, some researches show about 800 fatalities). This was an extremely powerful and interesting outbreak in terms of meteorology.

I was in Birmingham when the EF4 or EF5 (disputed due to the maintaining wind speeds well above 200mph) Tuscaloosa tornado tore through the metro area and destroyed town after town, tracking over 80miles. All in all we had 62 tornados that day. 2 being confirmed EF5’s -“Hackleburg” tornado which tracked 132 miles and killed 70 people, was the first -the 2nd was dubbed the “DeKalb County” EF5 which killed 25 people We also had 7 confirmed EF4’s, all 7 formed within 5 & 1/2 hours. Multiple EF3’s and almost a barrage of tornados rated from EF0-EF2. 18 hours of sure terror. 😬 You think I’d try my best to avoid them, or maybe move.

I have often seen this kind of lightning in the desert during the monsoon and I had dubbed it "popcorn lightning". Another thing: l have noticed that if all of a flash of lightning is at the same distance from your ears; for example, a CG that starts from a cloud overhead and hits something a mile away, it will produce an almighty bang, particularly if it is a positive CG, since the acoustic shock wave from the entire flash will arrive at your ears at the same time.

I can't think of a more deserving channel and content creator than you, Hank! As far as I'm concerned, you set the bar as far as quality and entertaining yet informative content goes. Keep up the awesome work, and we'll follow with you no matter the weather conditions! 👍

@michaelkaicher9569 Год назад

I subscribed to your channel roughly 3 years ago after experiencing a "near-miss" while stupidly driving through the business-end of a monster storm at night during a tornado warning in SW Missouri. As terrifying as that was, it ultimately led me to learn more about tornadoes and appreciate their power and unpredictability. Congratulations on the 1M subs!

@PecosHank Год назад

I know that creepy scenario as well. Glad you're still here to chime in Michael.

You are awesome! I love how calm, thorough, and respectful you are. I also just love how kind you are to animals. You’re the best tornado guy out there!

I could listen and watch you all day, every day Hank. Your enthusiasm and awe after all these years, not to mention the way you explain just how magnifcent and yet terrifying these are, is second to none. Congrats on reaching the million milestone! Well deserved and hope to see you reach the next one soon. Best wishes from Australia.

It was nicer when he had 400,000 or whatever he had when I started watching. Smaller channels are the best. But he still makes good videos unlike most other people when their channel grows.

Thanks Hank for what you do, I have learnt so much about storms and such that would not have been possible otherwise. I can listen to your voice for hours as you are clear and precise in your descriptions with fantastic video and brilliant photos. I live in the Hunter Valley of NSW Australia where we do not get as much wild weather as the USA does, so all the best Hank in your great work 👍 I love it.

The dedication and work you put into your videos has been amazing over the past several years. Some are educational, some are relaxing (especially adding your music) and I've learned a lot from you. That's why you're my favorite storm chaser on the RU-vid platform. I hope your channel continues to grow because it's definitely well deserved. Have a great 4th of July!

Happy 4th Storm!

@lordshaxx210 Год назад

Hank, you have continued to deliver quality content for over a decade, I still get excitement when I see you’ve released a new video, so it’s amazing to see that a million other people think the same way. You 100% deserve this man

@lonnietimms2614 Год назад

I would love it if you could talk about the Jarrell EF-5 sometime. I know it was before your time but it was one of the most insanely powerful tornadoes ever, unique in almost every way (when you factor in the horrifyingly slow forward velocity I think it was even the worst tornado ever recorded). For some reason it's the redheaded stepchild of the F-5s.

@lewisnakos3877 Год назад

Love what you’re doing man! Don’t see too many tornados here down under, but I’d love to make it over stateside for a chasing season one year, it’s on the bucket list, just wish I could do it every year! Looking forward to the 2022 highlights reel!

I'm sorry for both you and for us weather enthusiasts in that it's been such a slow few years for tornadoes and the chasers out there. That aside, the fact that you have not only continued to find ways to make content, but increase your subscriber count during such a long down time is extraordinary. I'm really happy for you. I've been watching for years and it has been a joy to catch your uploads, regardless of what they may entail. Truly and sincerely, Hank, Congratulations!

Congrats on reaching 1 Mil subscribers! I just subscribed today and I'm addicted to your videos. INCREDIBLE footage coupled with perfect music, and you've got this charismatic calmness and down-to-earthness about you that makes your videos particularly entertaining. It feels like we are along on the ride with you - but from the safety of home, which in my case, is on the other side of the world in Melbourne Australia where we get very few natural disasters. When we get a small earthquake that you can feel at all, we talk about it for weeks! We get plenty of bushfire in this state but the city and suburbs are too built up for significant bushfire activity. Further out of the suburbs though (and in some greener suburbs with a rural flavour), they can get really bad. Apparently we get tornadoes in Australia but they're so rare that most people would be surprised if you told them we get tornadoes.

@arikajensen3213 Год назад

Congrats Hank on 1 mil! I love you're videos! My favorite of all time is the fireflies with the lightning. Still my favorite! Good luck on storm chasing this last half of the year! You also missed out on the Nebraska December 15th 2021 outbreak which is where i live. I can't wait to see where you go with the storms! Definitely check out Nebraska during state Fair season. We get encredible lightning shows. And come see the llama show on August 26th through 28th! That's what I'll be doing! Good luck! Maybe we can hit 2 mil soon!

@robdoesweather6758 Год назад

Been a subscriber for years Hank and have always loved your content. Absolutely the best at getting beautiful shots that tell a story. Your 2016 year recap is one of my favorite videos I’ve ever seen in my life. Please keep up the good work Hank and I hope I see you in the field one day!

@vTigerx Год назад

When I was younger I had shown one of your videos to my teacher when we were doing meteorology in middle school and we ended up watching it all together in our class room, I think I took that lesson more serious than anyone else. Keep it up Hank, you continue to inspire many people like myself and help us understand, appreciate, and grow our love of weather, together. Best of luck in the future, I can't wait to see more videos! Also, this video was pretty interesting to watch, I hope you experiment with other types of content like this more. Also, a question: albeit very scuffed and probably hard to pull off due to just the nature of it, have you ever considered live streaming your chases? It might be interesting to watch if all goes well. I'd say just recording it is probably better, but I always wondered if you ever wanted to try it out! Take care Hank and stay safe!
