[QUOTE="mksmth, post: 2211908, member: 25507"] I asked that in another thread but i got no answer. From what i gathered on the WWW is that the measurement is estimated from how wide is was on Radar, which to me would include all the condensation bands/ Isnt that what radar is hitting is the rain/debris. There is no way the wind speeds were EF5 scale for 2.5 miles. I could be wrong though. Travis Meyer has been very outspoken about how the NWS is basing the wind speeds and essentially the EF scale on winds several hundred feet about ground and thats wrong. I guess the actual ground speeds were lower than EF5. Thats doesnt make it any better but we do need to be sure they are measuring the part that is actually causing the damage. [/QUOTE]
