Tornado Impact Statement |
Slight |
Isolated tornadoes possible. These tornadoes will likely be of EF-1 intensity or less. Tornadoes of this intensity can significantly damage or destroy outbuildings and cause major damage to mobile homes. Older, weaker mobile homes may be destroyed. Numerous trees will be uprooted or snapped by the winds of the tornado. |
Tornado Impact Statement |
Moderate |
Isolated to scattered tornadoes possible. While these tornadoes are expected to generally be of EF-1 intensity or less, one or two of these tornadoes may meet or exceed EF-2 intensity. EF-2 tornadoes are capable of destroying mobile homes and causing moderate damage to frame houses. Some older, weaker frame houses will receive significant damage or be destroyed. Light cars may be moved by the wind. Trees and power poles will be snapped. |
Tornado Impact Statement |
High |
Scattered to numerous tornadoes possible. Some of these tornadoes may reach EF-3 intensity or greater. Tornadoes of EF-3 intensity or greater will be capable of destroying all mobile homes and causing significant damage to frame and brick homes. People should seek shelter underground if possible or in a strong, reinforced structure if a tornado strikes. |
Tornado Impact Statement |
Extreme |
Tornado Outbreak Expected. Some of these tornadoes will be intense and possibly reach EF-4 intensity. Tornadoes of EF-4 intensity will be destroy all mobile homes. Frame built homes and brick homes will sustain significant damage, with some being destroyed. Schools and other concrete structures may suffer roof failure with some exterior walls collapsing. Cars will be lofted into the air along with other debris. All trees will be snapped with some debarked. Trees will become like missiles and cause additional damage.
