I looked back a few pages and didnt see anything, so please forgive me if this has been discussed already, but i found this video on youtube and thought it was very interesting. What's your thoughts, f-0, gustando, strong whirlwind? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NdQPpiFDlA&playnext=1&list=PL8851A9F42BC3E003skip to about 1:05 if you want to get right to it. Scott Edit: notice the tree. |

I'd say at least f0, if not higher. I saw a confirmed f0 and it would not have snapped that tree like a toothpick. I know gusts can knock down trees, but the fact that the video shows the vortex hitting the tree as it snaps.....

Good find Scott.
Looks like an EF0 to me.

I am in total agreement!! EF0. It stripped the bark off that tree and broke off part of it. That would give you a bit of a start all right!  |

Im with ya fellas. After watching it more, you can see some rotation and a debris field in the video just before the cameraman crapped himself lol. Thanks for the input, F-0 it is.

I probably worded it wrong the first time, But by gustnado, i meant something like this, they appear to have a vortex as well, especially when close. I appreciate the input my friends  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiE_IohamZM&feature=relatedScott |

WOW! Driver instinctively floored it after watching the tree made into toothpicks. Either that, or his clench response.
Sometimes it is fun to read comments on the YouTubes.
"...not so scary..."
"...next time, hold the camera steady."
"...It sure is windy in Russia... They are Germans... They're in Sweden..."

Did anyone else rewind back to pre the tornado, to see how his window got cracked? Only to see that it was that way before.

I did notice that Andrew! I went back and forth over it a couple times before I realized that it was already broken. I was really looking to see what the tornado was doing to the tree on the side of the road. Mark Did anyone else rewind back to pre the tornado, to see how his window got cracked? Only to see that it was that way before.

I think it is an F1. If you pause and watch the video closely, it starts snapping very large trees like toothpicks. The winds had to be over 80MPH for it to do that.
