Event & radar context
This was a separate tornado from the Wynne track. Their lifespans briefly overlapped; radar context can therefore show both circulations in the same volume.
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.
