Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the devastating impact of the Jarrell, Texas tornado of May 27, 1997, offering a critical analysis of the Fujita tornado intensity scale. The author meticulously examines the damage caused by the tornado, revealing inconsistencies between the observed destruction and the F5 rating assigned by the National Weather Service. Through a comprehensive post-storm survey and structural engineering insights, the book argues that the damage is more consistent with an F3 rating. The author highlights the limitations of the Fujita scale, particularly its failure to account for variations in building construction quality and regional design wind speeds. This book challenges conventional assumptions about tornado classification and underscores the importance of accurate assessments in mitigating future disasters. By exposing the flaws in the existing scale, the author advocates for a more nuanced approach to understanding and responding to the destructive power of tornadoes.
