Have they confirmed if the twister was an EF-4 or EF-5 yet?
EF5
Sorry that was just a preliminary rating. Nothing official yet.
It's official. It was an EF-5 per the National Weather Service. Wind speeds at 300 ft. were measured at over 270 mph. Winds at the surface were measured at 210 mph. The May 3rd, 1999 tornado was measured at 318 mph, still an EF-5. The biggest difference was this one was a very slow mover and really chewed up what it passed over.
