@robertjohnrasonadocagas: The catastrophic May 22, 2011 Joplin, Missouri tornado reached maximum wind speeds exceeding 200 mph (320 km/h), with some meteorological estimates and specialized engineering surveys placing the peak velocity between 225 mph and 250 mph. It was classified as an EF-5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.Date: May 22, 2011Intensity Rating: EF-5Maximum Wind Speeds: >200 mph (officially); estimated 225–250 mphPath Length: 22.1 miles (35.6 km)Peak Width: Up to 1 mile (1.6 km) wideDuration on Ground: 38 minutesCasualties: 158 direct fatalities immediately (with later estimates totaling 161), and over 1,150 injuries.Destruction: Approximately 30% of the city of Joplin was damaged or destroyed, including thousands of homes and major infrastructure like St. John's Hospital.Consensus on Severity: According to Wikipedia, discussions and meteorological analysis by the National Weather Service and university researchers confirm this as one of the most destructive and intensely concentrated tornadoes in U.S. history. Similarly, community consensus compiled on Reddit points to the rapid, unwarned intensification of the winds as a major factor in the historic devastation.Are you looking for information on rebuilding efforts?Would you like to compare it to other historic EF-5 tornadoes?Are you interested in changes to meteorological warning systems since 2011?
