Event & radar context
The NWS ten-year retrospective reports a 65-minute track, 28.8 miles long. Earlier summaries give a shorter path length. These older scans predate dual-polarization RhoHV.
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.
