Very very simply put.. On the velocity radars you look for the bright red and bright green next to each other.

@wx4keg: Still looking at damage from this morning's tornado. Looks to be an EF1 around 150 yards wide with wind speeds near 105mph.


That's a pretty good width for a EF-1. Wonder if Marathon has any surveillance cameras with any footage.

It's not as bad a system as a month ago. Came through Texas last couple of days. Mostly a big rain maker.
