As a sidenote, we drove through Sulfur, OK on the way back from the eclipse and my wife thought that it was one of the prettiest towns we saw on our trip. So much so, she said that maybe we should retire there and was looking on Zillow at houses there. Then the storms hit later. I was impressed by the local leadership during their press conference. It was nice to see some competency displayed on TV and the obvious outpouring of local help to the town. Neighbors helping neighbors, as it should be.

The world transitioned from the F scale to the EF scale in the early 2000s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Fujita_scale Still just to EF5, becomes pointless after that. |
