Violent EF-4 Wedge Tornado - Fairdale, IL - April 9 2015

Ғылым және технология

A deadly wedge tornadoes moves toward Fairdale, IL. The tornado was filmed from a hill north of Ashton, IL looking northeast. The haze is due to the distance from the tornado. Suction vortices and debris can be seen at times. The title showing 2014 is incorrect.

    I agree, and would enthusiastically encourage Justin to see if the original copy of the footage he ghas could be processed using the latest software to increase the contrast & detail. It's pretty amazing what software can accomplish these days via re-sampling & deconvolution, and the quality of the raw data here would enable some impactful - perhaps dramatic - improvements to what Justin expertly captured!

    My son says that the tornado was given an EF5 rating twice. 200-205 mph. Hit Fairdale as EF3 strength and probably did one spot of EF4 damage in town. Clem Schultz looked out a window and a tornado was looking at him back like he was the tornado's target.

    I lived near Rochelle back then and I saw definite f-5 damage north of Rochelle a couple miles in that area farms and homes and well built ones were cleanly swept away with extensive ground scouring it takes at least f-5 to do that even some concrete foundations were cracked and partially dislodged this is where it was at max strength with wind well over 200 mph perhaps 250-260 mph it was a beast look at the motion of this multi-vortex wedge I walked that area the next day and was astonished at the level of destruction it’s one thing to watch these videos but quite different when you are actually there that being said it should have gotten an f-5 rating just my take and by the way I’ve been an amateur storm chaser for 40 years and have never seen damage as bad as this twister did

And his video of the tornado kept on going, recording the sound. Terrifying video. This was an ugly tornado.
