This whole tornado strength debate is a great example of how a lot of weather people on the internet don’t actually know that much. In this case about radar.

Go to GR2 pull the Velocity data during the first portion of that tornado and look at it frame-by-frame. That is not clean data. Aliasing problems, folding, missing pixels, all sorts of frickery was going on. Maybe due to storm motion. Or maybe it had something to do with the fact that damage was reported in the same area the radar is located. This is the radar imagery that a lot of people are using to try to call this one of the strongest tornadoes in history. It is stupid.

I'm not directing this at you, just talking in general.
