Event & radar context
The NWS summary uses 19:07–20:40 CDT; its narrative places dissipation between 20:35 and 20:40. Every available volume through the later endpoint is retained, with context before and after.
Interpreting the rating
F, EF and IF are different damage-rating scales. Original source labels are preserved. Badge colours group the numerical categories for browsing; they do not imply identical wind thresholds. Radar products do not directly establish the damage rating.
