Event & radar context
This is the continuous western Kentucky tornado track, not the entire path of its parent supercell. KHPX preserves coverage through the event. At long range, even the lowest radar beam samples well above the ground; these scans do not directly measure surface winds.
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.
