Event & radar context
One of three successive tornadoes produced by the same supercell over Heze on 5 July 2024. 9 available Jining scans at approximately 5-minute intervals. Timeline length is not tornado duration. Raw radial velocity may contain aliasing and is not storm-relative. No path has been inferred from the radar.
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.
