[UK_EF4]

This was the 195mph DI.

Would need to get 205 MPH though.

As Robinson obliquely referred to (probably because he was responsible) fixing the EF5 threshold at 201 rather than the 200 the review indicated was completely political.

It's not the biggest problem by a long chalk but acknowledging and changing it would help show a better, more scientific attitude.

It would need to get to 201 mph. The floral shop is the 195 mph DI and was "partially swept away" per JAN. I'm pretty confident that we'd have a 5 if that was cleanly swept.

They re upped the dollar store back to a 190mph di
And the track line has been officially upgraded with the new info

It would need to get to 201 mph.

Technically yes, but the actual practice seems to be to use 5 MPH increments. Hence 200 -> 205.

There have been a couple of EF5s (Rainsville comes to mind) where it was simply labelled ">200 mph".

The Joplin tornado was labeled a >200 mph EF5 as well.
