Holy cow a tornado

[Beanz]

Well I finally heard it was a tornado with a nine mile swath top winds estimated at 129 and over. My area looks like a FEMA project. Still no power and I think it’ll be a week at least already been 3 days. Also cell service sucks. Must have lost a toweR. I’m quite lucky. Cut my car out of the tree that fell on it, dent on the trunk and a few scratches, much better than the people down the street who when u drive by the house you can see into the living room. Mother Nature is tough, I give her a lot of credit

Glad you didn't end up with your boots sticking out from underneath a wooden house anyways. We are lucky in the UK to never get extreme weather. Extremely monotonous at times but nothing like you guys on the other side of the pond get.

We actually get a surprisingly high number of tornados in the U.K. every year, but they don't last as long as in other wide open places and certainly cause less devastation.

We had a few small ones last couple of years. I've only been in the middle of a touchdown when I was a wee brat kid living in Tulsa. House had the whole storm shelter etc and I was clipped in the head by a metal pale. Explains a bit.

I suppose any tornado is alarming and dangerous. But an F5 must be an awesome and terrifying thing to see and experience.

Having said that, most U.K. Tornados tend to be in the Midlands.

A gigantic apocalyptic tornado could howl straight through the centre of Dudley, devastating everything in its path ...... and there would still only be £15 worth of damage

I have to explain a few things about walrus for those of you who are not from the northeast of the United States of America. walrus tends to say things that he doesn't really mean to say for example he says it F5 he's probably just talkin about the way he rates his coworkers. For example one of those coworkers didn't know how to use a forklift on a Bobcat so he had to show him how to do it and he only rated him about an F3

If u are talking about tornado ratings I think they said this was an F1 or 2 but I’m not sure how the scale works. If F1 is the lowest than damn F5 must be a mess. They also reported it was followed by a micro or macro burst which I guess can be worse than a tornado as they cover a larger area. I’m behind on the news what with the no power. Last year Bridgeport got hit with one that way up on the scale and took out all of state street. Training people on the bobcat is scary cause it has two levers for steering and if you carry o load and turn wrong the one we have would tip over l, block the exit and I’d probably need to smash a window to get them out. Bobcats are a lot of fun.?

That's if you are in a harness can you change a 9000 pound engine block

Ok so if a F1 has 120 mph wind and the macro burst 130 to 140 here WTF do the larger catersgories have.i ive been through hurricanes that topped 160mph and did less damage, I guess it’s all about where u are

There's a scale incrementally but Gail half scale full gale cyclone tornado typhoon

That was very scary and it caused about £17.50 worth of damage I have you know.
