Event & radar context
The joint ESSL, ARPA Veneto, ZAMG and MeteoNetwork survey rated the tornado F4 on the Fujita scale. This archive displays the parent storm’s real radar-derived rain rate. It does not resolve the tornado’s winds and is not a reflectivity or Doppler-velocity product.
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.
