re: This is why the tornado grading scale needs to be changed…

They really need 2 scales. Damage scale and strength scale.

I don't think they necessarily do at this point in time. Until we get more radar coverage, or more DOWs in the mix, a strength scale is only going to muddy the waters for the majority of tornadoes. We just don't have perfect radar coverage for every tornado-prducing storm (we never will), so for many tornadoes a "strength scale" would be at best extrapolation, and at worst outright guesswork.

And as far as the screen grab you posted, it awesome. Some of the coolest radar clips I have seen and saved have been from "low-end" tornadoes.
