RaXPol recorded winds up to 150 metres per second (340 mph; 540 km/h) inside the tornado, marking the fastest winds ever observed by radar in history. [9] Based on this data, the tornado was initially rated EF-5, but was later downgraded to an EF-3 due to the lack of supporting damage on the ground. [ 10 ]
Mobile doppler weather radars have been used on dozens of scientific and academic research projects from their invention in the late 1900s. [1] One problems facing meteorological researchers was the fact that mesonets and other ground-based observation methods were being deployed too slow in order to accurately measure and study high-impact atmospheric phenomena.

The tornado ultimately attained EF3 intensity during its existence, according to ground surveys. [8] As the tornado passed south of El Reno across U.S. 81, it grew to an unprecedented width of 2.6 miles (4.2 km), becoming the widest known tornado ever recorded in the United States.

The tornado downed many trees on the banks of the Mississippi River, where it lifted at 8:25 p.m. (0125 UTC) just northeast of exit 34 on Interstate 270. The tornado was rated a mid-grade EF3, with winds up to 150 mph (240 km/h). It was on the ground for 35 minutes, traveled 32.5 miles (52.3 km), and had a maximum path width of 1 mile (1.6 km).
The windows of the Dominator 3 were rolled up, and the ground spikes were deployed. The hydraulically powered spikes are built to instantly dive into the pavement and penetrate the road surface 3 ...
The tornado was up to 1.75 miles (2.82 km) wide at its widest point, making it the largest tornado ever in Mississippi at the time (it has since been surpassed by the 2.25-mile-wide (3.62 km) Bassfield, Mississippi EF4 tornado on April 12, 2020). The 10 fatalities and 146 injuries made it Mississippi's ninth deadliest tornado since 1900. [39]
