WHAT WOULD YOU RATE THIS TORNADO.
THE TORNADO WAS A HALF-MILE WIDE!
THE ONLY HOUSE THE TORNADO HIT (HIT MOSTLY ON OPEN LAND) INJURED TWO PEOPLE.

I voted F2. That tree looks rotten on the inside but that could be the photo. You can have tornadoes large in diameter but lower in strength. I guess is depends on the appearance of the tornado, the level of moisture in the atmosphere and whether the storm is high-based or not. I am even thinking F1?

I said F2. I agree that the tree does look rotten. Also, the buildings in the far left picture appear to be mostly intact, except the exterior walls and roof. The silo looks fine. My bet is that the people who were injured in that house simply did not take shelter in time. Theres plenty of interior room there that looks like adequate shelter from this storm.

THANKS TO ALL WHO VOTED.

THE TORNADO WAS RATED F2. THE TORNADO WAS THE 2003 INGHAM MICHIGAN TORNADO.
