Event & radar context
Times and damage rating follow the cited NWS review. The sequence includes surrounding scans for context. Velocity is the raw radial component measured by the radar, not total wind speed or storm-relative velocity.
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.
