Event & radar context
A published Romanian study documents a tornado near Dragalina around 14:20 UTC. That observation time is not a measured touchdown time or duration. MeteoRomania supplied reflectivity and radial velocity from Medgidia. The full supplied 13:01–16:00 UTC sequence is included; this is storm context, not three hours on the ground. The coarse, 16-level products sample precipitation and winds aloft. No polarimetric data or verified tornado path was supplied.
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.
