The tornado, an EF-5, that hit El Reno, a suburb of Oklahoma City, was 2.6 miles wide! The parent mesocyclone was 8 miles wide and had 4-5 satellite tornadoes revolving around. The satellite tornadoes where moving at a forward speed of 150 mph! This storm is one for the record books.....Death toll up to 19 or 20 now. They found the body of a child this morning in the Oklahoma River.

I just heard that it was packing winds of 300 mph.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Dang, that one knocked the Hallam Nebraska tornado off the top of the record books for the widest tornado ever recorded. I remember the Hallam tornado, it ended up south of Lincoln before it petering out. That was one of the greenest, erie looking skies I have ever seen. Our local weather man was on the air freaking out the whole time that tornado was on the ground an it was on the ground for 52 miles. 2004 Hallam Nebraska Tornado

Someone do the math on this! 60mph is a mile a minute. This has got to be false information.....

Possibly, they mean square miles.

Someone do the math on this! 60mph is a mile a minute. This has got to be false information..... It was on the ground a lot longer than 10 minutes, that I DO remember. Here is another entry you can trust.  That first entry probably has typo and is missing a zero. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_2004_tornado_outbreak_sequenceThe most damaging tornado in the outbreak first touched down at 7:30 P.M. CDT in northwestern Jefferson County. The tornado then moved to the northeast, through southern Saline County and northwestern Gage County. By the time it entered Lancaster County, it measured an F4 on the Fujita scale and the damage was 2.5 miles (4 km) wide. The tornado passed into Otoe County, disappearing just west of Palmyra at 9:10. The tornado had a path length of about 54 miles, and was on the ground for 100 minutes.
