You could have a 3 mile wide 400mph tornado in the middle of nowhere, and it would be an ef0 because it didn't cause damage. The scale needs to be reworked

Never mind the fact that a well built home, recent construction, that was anchored to its foundation, was not just leveled, that was completely swept away with nearby trees debarked. The same case could be made for Mayfield Kentucky as well as Rochelle, Illinois.

The rating system needs to account for windspeeds detected by rader at least from 300 ft above ground and under.

I've been saying for months this tornado should've been rated EF5. Winds over 200 MPH detected? Check, up 300+ were detected. Damage consistent with EF5 damage? Well the conversation below me says enough; I've seen photos of the damage too. By comparison, I almost thought I was looking at photos of damage caused by the 2013 tornado in Moore.
