EF2
I'll try to collate a few links here, but a reasonably strong tornado for these parts caused damage in Ireland over the weekend. It has been given a preliminary rating of IF2, which correlates to EF2/EF3, with wind speeds of 135mph (+/- 20%). I don't know if there are groups in Ireland who can do detailed site surveys however, as the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (TORRO) doesn't have anyone over there to rely on!
