Event & radar context
Tornado associated with the outer rainbands of Typhoon Podul. Local date is 29 August; radar times are on 28 August UTC. 19 real radar volumes with context before and after the event.

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.
